The Krasnoselsky District Court of St. Petersburg announced the verdict against Olga Mosalskaya, who was found guilty of telephone fraud. The woman was sentenced to two years probation for trying to exchange “old” bills for new ones under the guise of an employee of the Pension Fund.

Together with two accomplices, Mosalskaya, by random selection of a number, got through to her 87-year-old grandmother and introduced herself as an employee of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The swindler told the pensioner that a reform is allegedly coming up in the country to replace banknotes with new-type banknotes. The elderly woman agreed to give them 95,000 rubles and let Mosalskaya into her apartment. The scammers fled with the money.

The court found that Mosalskaya had a previous conviction. The woman fully admitted her guilt and compensated the pensioner for property and moral damage. Since the swindler is a disabled person of the 3rd group and suffers from a number of serious chronic diseases, the court sentenced her to imprisonment for a period of 2 years on probation with a probationary period of 2 years.

The criminal case against the second accomplice was terminated due to the reconciliation of the parties, and the identity of the third person has not yet been established.

Earlier, Rosbalt wrote that in St. Petersburg, a pensioner transferred more than a million rubles to the “investment master”.
