In Irkutsk, police are searching for two fraudsters who, posing as insurance company employees, tricked an 87 year old pensioner out of 120 thousand rubles. They told her her grandchildren would receive a large payout, then fled after asking for a glass of water.
Irkutsk detectives are identifying the women who, posing as employees of an insurance company, took a large sum of money belonging to an 87-year-old pensioner.Last Tuesday around noon, an elderly resident of the Kirovsky District contacted the police duty station in Irkutsk. The pensioner reported that two young women came into her apartment and offered to arrange a life insurance policy. They promised that if the deal were concluded, the grandmother’s grandchildren would receive a substantial compensation payment. And the larger the contribution, the larger the amount.
The trusting old woman put all her savings—120,000 rubles—into an envelope and handed them to the criminals in anticipation of the promised contract. At that moment, the swindlers asked her to bring them a glass of water. When the Irkutsk resident went away, they fled.
