In the Soviet district, a man who deceived the seller of VAZ-2110 will appear in court

The Prosecutor’s office of the Soviet district approved the indictment in the case of a 36-year-old local resident accused of fraud. This was reported in the press service of the supervisory authority of the Crimea.

According to the investigation, in the fall of 2025, the accused agreed with the victim to buy a car belonging to him “VAZ-2110”. The man convinced the owner to transfer the car immediately, promising to transfer the agreed amount within a few months.

However, he did not fulfill his obligations. Actions qualified under part 2 of article 159 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation - fraud.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea, for nine months of 2026, 33 cases of remote fraud were registered when buying cars and spare parts from abroad. The total damage caused to the victim exceeded 40 million rubles. Scammers attract buyers with low prices, receive large “prepayments” or “customs payments”, and then disappear.

Only for one day in October 2026, the police received applications from residents of Evpatoria, Alushta and Feodosia, who collectively lost more than 1.74 million rubles. In particular, the 48-year-old Evpatorian found in the messenger a link similar to the website of a well-known Russian company selling cars.

After the transition, a false manager contacted him, the parties discussed the purchase of a car from Germany, the man signed an electronic contract and transferred the money to the sent details. The next day, another “employee” contacted him and demanded a surcharge significantly higher than the cost of the car. Realizing that he was a victim of fraud, the buyer went to the police.
