Dangerous temptation
- It's not Estheticians, but very real crooks!
The voice of my companion heard immediately and resentment and indignation. Olga cunning scammers deftly around his little finger. And not just deceived, and, in fact, have turned out his pockets.
Her sad story began with a harmless invitation to one of the beauty salons that are registered in the center of Murmansk. Our interlocutor salon barkers nazvanivali than one month. All ears buzz intrusive proposals, saying, Come, let us welcome! And what are the prospects and service promised!
- They said that I will examine and beautician and dermatologist, and even consult a nutritionist - lists Olga. - And about your makeup constantly told that it is in their best and in this nowhere else. Even the cleaning of the face promised just 900 rubles do!
In short, succeeded - Olga broke down and agreed in one weekend to visit a beauty salon, where so attentive to their customers.
- Just be sure to bring your passport, - heard the farewell she handset. - As it will be for you a discount on services to register. No discount, this procedure is very expensive.
Woman would know why it will require a passport in fact, a mile to get began and the dubious interior, and the street in the October District of Murmansk.
A mere formality
Interlocutor constantly pulls in the hands of a handkerchief, trying to hide the excitement. It's been a long time, but what happened to her hard to forget.
At the appointed time, Olga found the right salon. At first glance, it seemed to her quite common. Such Murmansk dime a dozen. Went inside, where she smiled warmly, took the coat, was invited to the office, on a special couch to get comfortable helped. Everyone was so kind and helpful! But passport Olga Ivanovna at once politely took the pretext of paperwork at a discount.
- With me working professionals named Irina - continues to Olga. - Next to it I was under hypnosis.
Irina, I suppose, nice knew his business. She began slowly to lubricate the face of the visitor's somehow not the cream, not the lotion. These innocent manipulation began a leisurely conversation. Talked more about the expected result of magic, about the possibilities of cosmetics that is used as if only in this cabin, how Olga his views certainly slay all her friends on the spot after a few treatments. Normal conversation in a similar situation. But sometimes Irina asked questions and more.
- Wondered where I work, what my apartment as it receives, whether there is a machine, - says Olga. - Now, it is clear that it is a reason all this elicits from me ... I answered. You know, there lie and do not know in what state you: whether you sleep, or not. All before my eyes in a shroud and fog. I even said that she was tired, and yet do not want to talk much.
- Then let me speak, you just listen - with a smile retorted Irina and again began to talk about the healing properties of their branded cosmetics.
Several times she jumped out of the office, then returned a few minutes later and the procedure continues. After another absences in a conversation a new turn.
- We invite you to sign a contract with our cabin for three months - announced Irina. - If suddenly something you cease to hold or you are thinking of a vacation, it can be dissolved. You contract to nothing obliges. But three months you have the most desired visitor. You only need to sign in three places. A mere formality!
Olga was the last time and thought ... could not resist the temptation. It is possible to understand which of the women do not want to be beautiful. And it was too convincingly says Irina which there could be no doubt. Olga Ivanovna, without looking at the printed text, several times put his signature wherever helpfully pointed Irina.
- And on this page - schedule your visit to the salon - have reported brisk "cosmetology", quickly folding leaflets signed a folder. - We have them for you before you leave be sure to give away! Home all read carefully.
Hasty farewell
Returned to the procedure. Its sequel did not take much time.
- Now look at yourself in the mirror and feel, as they say, the difference - cosmetologist Olga Ivanovna held mirror.
She took him in hand. Immediately caught my eye, it was all stained. For some reason, workers did not even bother to wipe it from prying fingerprints. Trifle, and unpleasant. But this thought to recall only much later, when the secret was revealed.
To his chagrin, no visible or even subtle changes on your face Olga not found.
- Well, how can you not see, look closely - Irina fussed around her. - Come to the big mirror, there is lighter'll see with your own eyes!
But there is expected to see a dramatic effect failed. Around the left, that law Irina, one treatment is not enough. Olga even upset about this.
A cabin dwellers, meanwhile, began to slowly push pogrustnevshuyu visitor to the door. She was given some kind of box, said that there is a signed contract. Like, come home, wear glasses and look at all easy.
- And do not worry you so much - all solid Irina compassion. - If you have questions, call us!
That's how a strange box in the hands of Olga was at the door of a beauty salon, where she so persistently invited.
Unexpected discovery
She got home already dark. Met at the door only briefly overlooked daughter mother brought paper and struck on the spot:
- Mom, it's not schedule a visit to the salon. This loan agreement with the bank. And you signed it ...
Of the fallen from the sky as on the head of the contract indicated that Olga has to buy cosmetic products in the popular bank as much, as much as 37,000 rubles. She is obliged to repay the loan within three years, paying an annual 25 per cent per annum. The matter was before the December collapse of the Russian currency, but then such interest shall be deemed almost predatory. On the circle the sum of what had taken back in addition to the money poured in tens of thousands of rubles.
- Grieve my daughter, but what's the point. Decided to act - says Olga. - Collect all the stash and immediately took them to the bank. Accept money there girl, learn the history of Olga Ivanovna, and only sympathize with his hands spread her: "Do these crooks have not closed?".
Freed from the bondage of credit, Olga went to the ill-fated beauty salon. To say that the uninvited visitor was not happy, then do not say anything.
Right at the door of her way blocked by several employees. Stood rooted to the spot, so that the visitor steps and could not do. It turned out that the beautician Irina is no longer working. Allegedly fired the day before and left for an unknown destination. And my phone, because that's bad luck, no one left. The noise of conversation in a raised voice came to the salon middle-aged man. He did not introduce himself, but his behavior was evident that he was not here the last man. In the presence of even the most vociferous came workers bit their tongues places instantly. But he did not want to hear just claims Olga Ivanovna. In short, no one wanted to admit her recent visitors who so deftly and shamelessly cheated.
Anatomy of deceit
Surprisingly, many of the familiar ladies managed to be in this situation. All as one absurd scenario, told and retold about the same scheme of deception. First, they were treated by the phone. The calculation is simple and reliable: nine people ignore the invitation, but one is interested is always there. It was he who comes by believing sweet promises high-quality service and a fairy tale about low prices. And as soon as the foot unsuspecting visitor crosses the threshold, the return trip without financial loss for him almost none.
All the ladies, yet Visitor "for fun" in the salons, beauticians methodically taught that without their makeup for the visitors literally tomorrow come to an end, a disaster to strike and they will lose their beauty. Here the technology is simple and verified fraud for years. There is always one or the one who will agree to buy a pig in a poke than a penny repeatedly cover the costs of scams.
Another general. Value familiar ladies in response several times firmly declare that they do not fly in the cabin plan, as to them immediately lost all interest. One friend admitted that she even tried to show the door without the promised khaljavnogo makeup. She began to insist in response I heard a discouraging: "A worker we got sick, you will excuse me, but at other times must come." As they say, lies not even blushing.
And, perhaps most important: almost all of its potential visitors call from salons urged sure to bring your passport.
Companion, delivshiesya their "interior history," gave various addresses where sheltered shady places. Other remove angles in a very respectable places where human stream subsides only at night. Social networks are also full of similar stories. It is time to think honestly working in the small business segment remained one.
- Unfortunately, such cases are far from being isolated, - said the lawyer Olga Peter. - And not only in Murmansk. From other settlements of the region also come alarms ...
