Fraudsters stole a record 450 million rubles from a resident of Moscow under the pretext of leaking personal data from the organization where she works. As reported by the chief director of the capital's Ministry of Internal Affairs, the fraudsters contacted the victim through a messenger disguised as a colleague and warned her to wait for a message from the "treasury of the FSB". That's when the woman became convinced of the leak of personal data from the organization she works for and the threat to her savings in the bank. To save the funds, the victim cashed them and gave them to the courier, allegedly for depositing into a reissued account.
