The man found advertisements on an online platform and contacted people who were selling their cars. After meeting and inspecting the vehicle, he offered not to pay immediately, but to leave a receipt with a payment deferral of up to three months. As a result, sellers handed over keys and documents to him but never received the promised money.
After this, the man quickly resold the cars at a lower price and used the received funds for his own needs.
In addition, two more people fell victim to a similar scheme: they transferred an advance payment for a car to the man, but never received the vehicles.
In total, nine people were affected, and the amount of damage exceeded 21 thousand rubles.
It is known that this person had previously been brought to criminal responsibility for similar crimes. Now, a criminal case has been initiated against him for fraud, and investigators are clarifying all circumstances and possible additional episodes.
