A resident of Barnaul bought tires online and lost 25 thousand rubles
In Barnaul, a 34-year-old local resident became the victim of Internet scams. Attackers under the guise of a tire seller lured from the man 25 thousand rubles.
According to the regional department, the victim wanted to buy a set of tires for his car and responded to a suitable offer in one of the groups in the messenger. During the correspondence with the seller, they discussed all the details of the transaction, including the cost of four tires of different brands and sizes of goods. The total purchase amount was 25 thousand rubles. After that, the scammer sent the buyer an invoice for payment and details for transfer. The trusting man did not hesitate to send money to the intruder.
The next day, the “seller” wrote to the victim that the cost of the goods increased, and demanded to pay another five thousand rubles. It was at this point that the man realized that he was a victim of deception and went to the police.
On this fact, a criminal case was initiated under Part 2 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud committed with causing significant damage to a citizen).
