A Chepcha resident lost nearly two million rubles when buying a non-existent car from Europe.
A 59-year-old resident of Kirovo-Chepetsk became the victim of fraud while trying to buy a car through a messenger. On Telegram he found an ad for cars from Europe and contacted the poster.
The seller sent the man a contract and copies of the vehicle documents. According to the "deal," the buyer had to pay for the car, customs clearance and delivery. Although the payment invoices came not from the company named in the contract but from private individuals, the man transferred 1,578,000 rubles.
A few days later the perpetrator demanded another 1,174,000 rubles for a "utilization fee." When the man replied that he did not have such funds, he was persuaded to pay at least part of the amount — another 324,000 rubles. After that the "seller" said a state duty for importing the vehicle had to be paid. Only then did the victim realize he was dealing with scammers and went to the police.
A criminal case has been opened and an investigation is underway.
The police warn: when buying high-value goods online it is important to verify the authenticity of the seller and the platform. An offer with a "too good" price is a reason to be wary.
