Russian woman burned down her own apartment on the instructions of a telephone scammer to "get insurance"

Wait 5 sec.

The scammer convinced the woman that he had found a "brilliant scheme" for quick enrichment: to set fire to the apartment, film everything on video and receive a large insurance payout. During the call, he controlled the arson process live. When the fire had already broken out, the scammer calmly asked her to wait at least five more minutes to "correctly capture everything on camera." Moreover, he convinced her not to leave the apartment, although the room was already full of smoke. As a result, the woman ran outside only when it became impossible to breathe. The apartment burned down completely.   submitted by   /u/modernbonaparte [link]   [comments]
