Russian student faces charges after registering bank card for cash
A 19-year-old student from Arzamas now faces criminal charges after agreeing to register a bank card in his name for money. The deal, offered by an unknown caller, has left him under travel restrictions while authorities investigate the case. The incident began when the student received a call from a person claiming to be an employer. The caller proposed a simple task: register a bank card in the student’s name and hand it over in Nizhny Novgorod. In exchange, the young man would earn 3,500 rubles.
Without hesitation, he accepted the offer. The card was issued as planned, but instead of a quick payment, he surrendered both the card and its PIN to strangers. Shortly after, law enforcement intervened. Investigators have since filed charges against him for the illegal use of payment instruments. The student now faces legal consequences and cannot leave the region due to the ongoing case.
The case serves as a warning about the risks of sharing personal banking details with unknown parties. The student’s actions led to criminal proceedings and travel restrictions, highlighting the serious outcomes of such agreements.
