A resident of the Kirsan district transferred to the fraudster 720 thousand rubles when buying a tractor

In the Kirsanov district, police are investigating a major fraud related to the sale of a tractor. This was reported in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “Kirsanovsky”.

According to the Agency, the police appealed to a local resident. On November 10, she arrived in the city of Bobrov, Voronezh region, where, according to an announcement on the Internet, she was going to buy a vehicle. On the spot, an unfamiliar man offered her intermediary services when buying a tractor. He convinced a woman to transfer money through a mobile application to someone else’s bank card number.

After examining the equipment standing on the street, the victim transferred 720 thousand rubles from personal savings. Having received funds, the man stopped communicating. Later it turned out that the real owner of the tractor asked to remove the ad and wait for the buyer, but no money was received.

A criminal case has been opened for fraud. Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia “Kirsanovsky” are investigating.

The police recommend to be vigilant during monetary transactions. When buying expensive goods, including real estate and transport, you should first get the property and make sure the legality of the transaction, and only then transfer the money.
