The prosecutor's office of the Black Sea district through the court defended the rights of a local resident who suffered from remote fraudsters. From the owner of the bank account, which received part of the stolen funds, recovered 254 thousand rubles, reported the press service of the Prosecutor’s office of the Crimea.

In May 2026, fraudsters under the pretext of delivering a used car from abroad lured more than 1.1 million rubles from a resident of the Black Sea region. Law enforcement officers established the owner of the account, where they transferred part of the amount - 249 thousand rubles. It turned out to be a dropper.

The district prosecutor's office sent a lawsuit to the court to recover from him unjust enrichment and interest for the use of other people's money. The Black Sea District Court satisfied the claims: 254 thousand rubles were recovered in favor of the victim.

After the decision comes into force, the prosecutor’s office will monitor the actual restoration of the applicant’s rights.

Recall that the practice of collecting from droppers in the Black Sea region has already been applied. In October 2026, the prosecutor’s office through the court recovered from the 23-year-old resident of Dagestan 97 thousand rubles, which he received at his own expense from a mother of many children, deceived by telephone fraudsters.

In July 2026, a 20-year-old local resident appeared in court for selling a bank card to remote scammers for 10 thousand rubles. In March 2026, a courier of fraudsters was sentenced, who in January stole 300 thousand rubles from an 81-year-old resident of the district.

According to the Crimean Prosecutor’s Office, in 2025, more than 5.2 thousand crimes related to remote theft of money were registered in the republic. To compensate for damages, the supervisory authority filed almost 500 lawsuits to recover unjust enrichment from droppers for a total amount of more than 85 million rubles.
