Sosnovoborskaya pensioner gave 114 thousand rubles to fraudsters and after 2.5 years managed to sue them

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the prosecutor's office helped a pensioner from Sosnovoborsk to sue money stolen by scammers.

The supervisory department said that in November 2022, an elderly woman on the Internet stumbled upon advertising by a famous bank. In it, everyone was invited for earnings on an investment platform. The woman crossed the link indicated in the announcement and, having filled out the questionnaire, left her passport data and phone number.

A few days later, an employee of the trading company contacted her. The stranger in paints spoke about a fictional organization that is engaged in the sale of shares of companies selling oil, gas and gold. Under the dense accompaniment of cyber abusions, the woman transferred them 114 thousand rubles. Soon, the pensioner doubted the work of the “investment company” and turned to law enforcement officers. A criminal case of fraud has been instituted (Art. 159 of the Criminal Code), they told the prosecutor's office.

The investigation showed that the money went to the account of a resident of Bashkortostan. The prosecutor’s office to protect the rights of a pensioner appealed to the court demanding to recover the amount of unjust enrichment from the owner of the card. The prosecutor managed to achieve justice for almost 2.5 years already in the Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court of the Republic of Bashkortostan decided to recover 114 thousand rubles from the holder.

Cash will be recovered by bailiffs during the enforcement of a court decision.
