The woman stated that in early January she received a call from a person who introduced himself as an employee of Roskomnadzor. The woman who called informed her that the account on the public services portal had been hacked, and a power of attorney for real estate had been issued on her behalf. The caller also advised the woman to sell the car to prevent it from being re-registered to another person.
A con artist helped a pensioner place an ad for the sale of a car for 350 thousand rubles on the Internet. On the same day, the buyer contacted the owner of the car, they signed a purchase and sale agreement, and then transferred the money to the account on the recommendation of the fraudster.

A day after the car disappeared, the applicant's husband decided to find out where she was. My wife informed me that she had sold the car. After that, he advised contacting the police with a statement. As a result, the purchase and sale agreement was declared invalid. However, the pensioner was forced to return the money to the buyer from her personal funds.
A set of measures is currently being implemented to identify and detain those involved in the commission of the crime.
Earlier we wrote that Saransk police officers are looking for scammers who stole almost 250 thousand rubles from a pensioner.
