Scammers swindled nearly 3 million rubles from the head of a Nizhny Novgorod company.

      15 November 2025 15:56 Incidents. Scammers forced the head of a Nizhny Novgorod company to sell his car and transfer 2.8 million rubles to them. This was reported by the press service of the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

      The perpetrators posed as employees of various agencies and convinced the 62-year-old man that unknown persons were trying to take out a loan in his name using his car as collateral. To cancel the suspicious transaction, they suggested selling the car and transferring the money to a so-called “safe” account.

      The victim followed the instructions: he sold his foreign-made car for 1.7 million rubles, added more than 1 million rubles from his personal savings, and transferred the entire amount to the provided account details.

      Soon the man realized he had been deceived and contacted the police. A criminal case on fraud has been opened and an investigation is underway.

      Law enforcement reminds: if you are notified of suspicious transactions on your accounts, do not follow any instructions from unknown persons. Contact your bank directly using the official hotline number.

      Earlier it was reported that swindlers had extracted almost 5 million rubles from a resident of Nizhny Novgorod under the pretext of investments. NIA “Nizhny Novgorod” has a Telegram channel.
