The Dzerzhinsky District Court of Kharkiv found 31-year-old woman guilty of large-scale fraud committed by a group of persons in a preliminary conspiracy.
As the head of the oblast prosecutor’s office, Tatyana Sotnikova, said, the attacker was sentenced to 5 years of imprisonment with a probationary period of 3, writes Golos.ua.
According to the investigation, the convict for several months lured out almost 28 thousand dollars from Kharkiv women.
The victim on the social network met a man who introduced himself to the US military as a contract officer. After the end of military service, the man allegedly wanted to come to Ukraine for closer acquaintance. Subsequently, a fan said that he had sent a postal order with a gift and personal items in honor of the birthday of a new girlfriend.
A few days later, an Internet seducer called an accomplice. Posing as a customs officer, she reported on the mailing, but in order to receive it, the Kharkiv woman was asked to pay thousands of dollars in duty to 1,2.
The victim handed over the money, but soon she received a call and was informed that the postal order in her name contains 2 million dollars, so she needs to pay 6,5 thousand dollars in taxes.
As the Internet friend explained to the woman, the gangster group in Afghanistan, where it serves, took the money. He said that with this amount he wants to start a new life in Ukraine, and asked for a shipment, promising to compensate for any expenses.
The Kharkiv woman transferred the money again, but did not receive the promised 2 million dollars. But she was offered to pay 1% retirement fee.
Trusting woman gave 20 thousands of dollars to fraudsters. And only after, under the pretext of the next collection, they wanted to rob her of thousands of dollars for 50, the victim turned to the police.
According to the investigation, other persons who may be involved in the crime are in Nigeria.
Recall, in Kiev, psychics-scam artists from Odessa were detained. They offered their "magical" services to people, demanding for them from 40 to 60 thousands of dollars. Fraudsters deceived citizens for more than two years.
