High urbanization of the region, a growing number of Internet users, interest in goods that are not found on the shelves of local, only to hand the fraudsters. Under the guise of various virtual stores they clean the pockets of unsuspecting citizens.
In the field of law enforcement officers recently came across one of these groups. To start dealers took up trade in conventional consumer goods. Business quickly took off. In a short time they were able to deceive the small things more than two hundred northerners. Feeling that continue to engage in criminal craft becomes dangerous crooks threw "firm" and opened a new one. At this time decided to get rich by selling expensive fur. Virtual coats scam bought throughout Russia. Rather, they sent money for them on account of speculators. As a result, suffered six dozen people. Their money stream flowed into the account that belonged to a person of no fixed abode. It was used "blindly", paying for account opening a bottle of vodka.
And these scammers - not the only ones who robbed unsuspecting buyers. A resident of Arkhangelsk sent a deposit of 16,000 rubles for a mink coat, exhibited for sale at one of the pages in the social network. Another lady from Vologda advance transferred 11,500 rubles per order shoes and women's clothing, the sale of which is found also in social networks. Neither one nor the other did not get bought out. But the police did manage to find out the identity of the fraudster, who discovered their dealings checking account in one of the branches of a major bank in the Murmansk region.
Another alarming figure of last year. More than twenty people were on the scam when buying tickets. Websites worked clones. Their criminal craftsmen manufactured in full compliance with these, but indicates a completely different bank accounts for money transfer. Ticket buyers discover the deception only at the airport. At the same scheme criminals managed to steal some of the money collected on the Internet for the treatment of the sick child.
- Detection of such crimes is about 60 percent - continues Vadim Gavriliouk. - But with the return of the stolen funds the situation is different.
The fact that the perpetrators immediately let stolen money in circulation - buy expensive cars, rest abroad, in short, live for others and enjoy life. And even if the court sentenced them to pay their victims stolen money, this process can take years.
The organizers of the criminal schemes not only familiar with computers, but also able to manipulate the behavior of their victims. It is easy for a long time "to conduct" man utter reassuring promises and extorting from him more and more amount. The calculation is simple - the outright lie, the easier it is to find someone who will believe it. How else to explain the presence of those wishing to buy, say, expensive car at the price of the bike? Or elite cosmetics, comparable in price to the flask eau de cologne? So the first and most important way to not fall for the bait - soberly treat tempting offer. And yet - take elementary precautions. For example, if you still can not live without virtual shopping, get to that in a separate plastic card and keep it there are not large sum of money. Pay with Internet-only stores it. And if the code of your card will be available to attackers, loss of money would be minimal.
And one more advice from the experts. Do not be lazy to check those who are going to buy something on the ads on the Internet. Have not talk to seller by e-mail, and Skype. Fraudsters if hit on him, his face to shine in front of a potential victim with no hands. He will be under different pretexts to evade hangout, but for you it will be an occasion to rethink the deal.
