The damage from the actions of fraudsters is estimated at 2.5 million rubles.
In the Tyumen region, a criminal group led by the organizer, who was engaged in telephone fraud in the Sakhalin region, was detained.
According to the press service of the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the Sakhalin Region, since 2018, citizens who have become victims of a fraudulent group have been contacting the police. According to deceived citizens, they wanted to purchase goods through ads on the Internet, paid for it, but never received it.
Since fraudsters had a long correspondence with a potential victim before the transaction was made and even agreed on a meeting place, she did not have any suspicions when she was required to make a partial or full prepayment. However, having received money for a non-existent product, the criminals immediately stopped contacting the victim.

It also turned out that in the criminal group there was a clear distribution of roles and functions. Some participants posed as sellers and placed ads on the Internet, while others were responsible for the receipt of funds from the victims and their subsequent cashing out through third parties.
During searches of the suspects' place of residence, bank statements, credit cards, mobile phones and SIM cards were used, used by fraudsters to deceive citizens. They also seized illegally obtained gold items and a large amount of money.
At least 19 citizens suffered from the actions of fraudsters. The damage caused is estimated at 2.5 million rubles.
