6 people were injured while trying to buy a power plant

Amid regular power outages, residents of Sevastopol began to look for alternative power sources. This situation was immediately taken advantage of by remote fraudsters, who began to sell gullible citizens a non-existent product for real money.

Over the past two days, six local residents aged 32 to 46 years applied to law enforcement agencies. This is reported by the press service of the interior Ministry of Sevastopol.

All of them found in telegram channels and fake Internet sites ads for the sale of portable power plants. Citizens transferred to unknown fake sellers amounts from 61 to 105 thousand rubles and began to wait for the delivery of orders.

But the victims never received the parcels. The total damage caused to the applicants is estimated at almost 600 thousand rubles. At the same time, the electricity supply in the homes of the victims was restored over time, but the funds transferred to the scammers were not returned.
