Fraudsters Deprived Bashkortostan Residents of 9 Million Rubles
Citizens continue to trust strangers.
One of the victims of investment fraud was a 55-year-old woman from Ufa. She was contacted on Messenger by an unknown person who introduced himself as a "broker." Interested in his proposal for additional income, the victim transferred money over the course of two months to receive dividends. However, when she was unable to withdraw the earned funds, she realized she had fallen for fraudsters. The amount of damage was 2 million rubles.
Two residents of the Beloretsk district faced a similar situation. A 23-year-old woman gave over 2.5 million rubles to fake investors under the pretext of earning income. A 68-year-old retiree lost more than 675,000 rubles, which had been borrowed on credit.
