Investment scams | A fraudster posed as “Shoigu’s niece” and scammed people out of 200 million rubles!
Fake documents, a well-known surname, and promises of extraordinary profits — a classic social engineering scheme.
And this is not an isolated case: people fall not only for “relatives of officials” but also for fake accounts impersonating celebrities.
What is important to remember:
-
Do not trust surnames or alleged “connections”.
-
Do not fall for promises of easy money.
-
Verify any information before investing.
