A clever gang of scammers operated under the guise of a “credit organization” in Crimea

CrimeaPRESS reports:

In Crimea, indictments have been approved in criminal cases against 17 residents of several regions.

According to the investigation, the accused, being the organizers and members of a criminal community, created a network of fictitious financial and credit organizations, which, under the pretext of providing citizens with loan services, stole their money.— the Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Crimea reported.

How did the «scheme» work?

The fraudsters informed citizens in need of money that they had been approved for a loan, and to receive it they had to prove their solvency by transferring funds to the account of a fictitious company. In this way, the accused stole more than 9.5 million rubles from 279 citizens.

The criminal actions of the group members were stopped by the employees of the internal affairs bodies. The criminal cases were sent to the Central District Court of the city of Simferopol. The criminal cases against the other members of the criminal community were previously sent to court.
