Penzyachka gave 320 thousand rubles to a fraudster from a dating site

The search for the second half on the Internet turned into a major financial loss for a 21-year-old resident of Penza. The girl became the victim of a scammer, whom she met on a dating site in June.

Communication with a virtual gentleman quickly turned into correspondence, and then a stranger suddenly asked the girl for money in debt. It was about a solid amount - about 320 thousand rubles. The man promised to return everything, and the trusting penzia agreed. He transferred the funds to his bank account.

After a while, the girl began to suspect something wrong. She tried to contact a new acquaintance to remind her of her debt, but he simply stopped communicating. Realizing that she was deceived, a resident of Penza appealed to the police department No. 5.

Now on this fact opened a criminal case under part 3 of article 159 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation. The police are looking for a fraudster. For such deception, he faces up to six years in prison.
