A series of fraud cases involving purchases on marketplaces have been uncovered in the Kirov region
Police officers have uncovered a series of remote scams involving false promises of discounts when shopping on marketplaces. A 23-year-old resident of Sovetsk was involved in the crimes.
Since last year, the girl has been finding victims through social media. She convinced people that she could buy goods for them—mostly machinery and building materials—at great discounts. She explained her "capabilities" by allegedly meeting with employees of online stores. Having received money from the victims, she spent it on her own needs and sports betting.
Earlier this year, the girl received more than 1.4 million rubles from only one victim. Eight criminal cases were opened against her. The police are now investigating whether she is involved in other similar crimes in the Kirov region and beyond.
