On February 6, 2025, it became known that the daughter of the deputy chairman of the board of the public movement "For Saving the People," State Duma deputy Olga Krasilnikova, was a victim of telephone fraudsters. The attackers lured 50 million rubles from a 21-year-old girl, intimidating her with criminal liability for financing the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
According to RIA Novosti, referring to information received in law enforcement agencies, the attackers called Krasilnikova's daughter for several days. They introduced themselves as officers of the FSB and Rosfinmonitoring, claiming that the girl was suspected of transferring funds to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, the scammers stated that Krasilnikova's daughter faces a long prison sentence. As a result, the frightened girl took money and jewelry worth more than 50 million rubles from her parents' safe and handed it over to the criminals.
