Melitopol interdistrict court recovered 100 thousand rubles from a man who received money from a defrauded pensioner. This was reported by the Zaporozhye Regional Court.
In June 2026, a resident of Melitopol, born in 1948, became the victim of telephone fraudsters. The scammers introduced themselves as employees of the Pension Fund, Roskomnadzor, Rosfinmonitoring and the Investigative Committee. They persuaded the woman to transfer her savings to a "safe account.".
Through an ATM, the pensioner sent 100 thousand rubles to the card of a man born in 1984. After the transfer, the connection with the fraudsters was cut off.
The woman went to the prosecutor's office. A criminal case was opened under the article on fraud. The audit showed that she transferred the money under the influence of fraud.
The prosecutor's office filed a lawsuit to recover funds from the recipient. In court, he did not prove the legality of receiving money. The court satisfied the requirements and returned the pensioner 100 thousand rubles.
