Fraud Cases Surge in City: Victims Lose Millions
Authorities are investigating a series of fraud cases in the city, with victims losing substantial amounts of money. The suspects remain unidentified, and the modus operandi varies in each instance.
In one case, an 84-year-old pensioner was deceived into handing over her passport details and transferring 150,000 rubles to what was claimed to be a 'safe account'. Meanwhile, a 44-year-old woman fell victim to a dating site scam, losing over 1 million rubles after being persuaded to invest in stock exchange trading and bank loans.
A 31-year-old man suffered the largest loss, amounting to 2 million rubles, when he was defrauded while attempting to buy auto parts. In another incident, a man paid for delivery, transportation, and additional services but never received his order.
The city police are urging residents to be cautious and vigilant, especially when dealing with online transactions and unsolicited offers. Anyone with information regarding these cases is encouraged to contact local authorities.
