Muscovite gave an unknown man from a dating site three million rubles. She works as a doctor and believes in love. The prince found her on a dating site, introduced himself as Janis Grand, they began a correspondence. The case went on a date, but the beloved urgently needed three million rubles.
The girl had no such money, but that did not stop her. She issued a loan and handed over the entire amount allegedly to the driver. However, the beloved is still not in a hurry for a date, but instead requested another three million, threatening to hang a debt of 48 billions (732 million dollars) in case of failure. At this point, she realized that she was dealing with a fraudster and went to the police.
Another story happened with a Siberian woman who paid a million rubles (more than $ 20) for a date with her lover. On a dating site, a girl from Irkutsk began to communicate with a man who introduced himself as an Australian actor. They corresponded long and hotly, planned a meeting, but one day their beloved disappeared. Instead, his “lawyer” contacted the girl and reported problems with the paperwork. Money was urgently needed to solve them. An Irkutsk woman took out a loan and transferred 000 thousand rubles to the scammers' account. After the funds were written off, the “lawyer” also stopped contacting, and the girl decided to go to the police.
Fraud schemes
Scammers are very creative and come up with a lot of schemes. Most often they are represented by seamen, military men, widowers with children, doctors, actors and businessmen. They easily enter into trust, after which they can do anything with their victims.
- For example, send an expensive gift in the mail. Fortunately, all you need to do is pay the customs duty by transferring money to the specified account.
- Or invite me to visit, and recommend to arrange a trip in a proven travel agency, which disappears after the voucher is paid.
- Or go to the hospital and ask for financial help.
Some sites warn about how dangerous it is to transfer money to strangers, but women often ignore them and fall into the hands of scammers, which can be very difficult to calculate.
What can be done
Be sure to check if your interlocutor's name is on the “black lists of suitors”. Use the search by picture, scammers use other people's pictures, for sure, you will find the source of the photo. Check out his first post via anti-plagiarism sites. Swindlers send the same text to many women. Offer to call by video link, the refusal should alert you. And never transfer money or tell new acquaintances your account numbers, phone numbers and other similar information.
