Citizens of Buryatia are Warned About a New Way of Deceiving Parents of Schoolchildren

Thieves call their parents and demand money for "urgent needs"

Extortionists pretend to be the school principal or child's classmate

Law enforcement officers urge residents of Buryatia to be careful and not to succumb to the provocations of fraudsters.

Criminals call citizens and introduce themselves as the school principal or child's classmate. Then they report that the child needs to urgently collect money for needs - for example, for a class trip.

To make situation more believable, extortionists provide details: name of school, class and even names of teachers.

Police urge residents of Buryatia not to succumb to fraudsters' provocations and immediately report calls to the police.
