2 million rubles lost 64-year-old resident Pochinok

The main title “Family Capital of Russia” for 2027 was awarded to Nizhny Novgorod and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, which scored an equal number of points.

The head of Mordovia, Artem Zdunov, who also heads the commission of the State Council of the Russian Federation in the direction of “Family”, said that the competition is planned to be held annually.

In addition, the winners of the “Family of the Year” contest were announced during the ceremony. In the nomination “Young Family” the best was recognized by the Suyashov family from the Kochkerovsky district of Mordovia. Dmitry and Tatiana, parents of three children, work in the agro-industrial complex.

A resident of the city of Pochinka, a 64-year-old man, appealed to the law enforcement agencies of Mordovia, reporting the loss of more than 2 million rubles. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Mordovia, he became the victim of fraudsters, trying to buy a car abroad.

The incident began on October 8, when the man, while at home in the Nizhny Novgorod region, found an advert for the sale of cars on the Internet. After talking to the seller, getting acquainted with the terms of the deal and obtaining a catalog, he chose a foreign car.

He was sent a contract and bank details to transfer about 900 thousand rubles as customs duty. To make this financial transaction, the victim arrived in Saransk, where he transferred the specified amount, the Ministry of Internal Affairs explained.

For the car itself, ready for transportation, the buyer transferred 1 million 780 thousand rubles. However, then he was demanded another 600 thousand rubles for transit across the border.

Unable to contribute an additional amount, the man ceased to be interested in scammers. “An employee of the company said that he would no longer deal with his deal, and provided contact to another manager,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said. As a result of the fraud, the victim went to the police.

Earlier, the 38-year-old resident of Saransk also lost more than 2 million 760 thousand rubles, trying to buy a Mazda CX-5 from Germany.
