Several crimes related to the use of ads were disclosed in Yalta

The first victim was a 35-year-old woman. Being a user of a well-known trading Internet site, she responded to an ad on the sale of shoes. Having adjusted the dialogue with the seller and discussing the details of the purchase, the applicant transferred payment for the goods belonging to the bank account. After receiving the funds, the attacker stopped in touch, and the victim never waited for paid shoes. The damage caused amounted to over 36,000 rubles.

Another applicant is a 52-year-old local resident who has a similar situation. The victim wanted to purchase a music controller. Having contacted the attacker, she transferred money in the amount of 20,000 rubles in the phone number indicated by him in the message, after which the false seller stopped answering her, but subsequently did not provide the goods.

Among the victims was also another local resident who tried to buy from an attacker through an Internet service for the provision of trading services an engine for a car. The man transferred funds in the amount of 40,000 rubles to an attacker’s bank card, but the transaction, as in previous cases, did not take place, since the buyer did not receive the long -awaited goods.

The police began the search for attackers. The law enforcement officers managed to establish that the criminal episodes were committed by three different attackers and are not interconnected. As a result of operational-search measures, criminal investigators established all involved in fraud.
