St. Petersburg police detained five credit card suspects totaling 20 million rubles.

According to the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the attackers sent SMS messages to their victims stating that they had blocked a bank card. Fraudsters disguised as bank security officers offered to "unlock", but for this it was necessary to call the number indicated in the SMS message and indicate their bank details. Thus, the suspects stole funds from cash accounts.

To carry out a fraudulent scheme, the participants in the criminal group developed special software that generated message recipient numbers. One of the group members provided accomplices about 5 thousand SIM-cards issued to non-existent persons. Calls came from temporarily rented apartments in St. Petersburg.

During searches in the apartments of detainees, police seized 1.5 thousand SIM-cards, mobile phones, GSM-modems and laptop computers.

Criminal proceedings were instituted on the grounds of crimes under Part 3 of Art. 158 of the Criminal Code (theft). Two attackers are in custody, three under a written undertaking not to leave the place of residence.
