Scammers “threw” the evader twice and he went to the police/Channel 24 collage
A resident of Kyiv turned to the police because he was deceived by scammers. Twice he paid unknown persons to make false draft exemption papers. However, after the transfer of funds, the “document producers” disappeared.
Law enforcement officers have already begun to investigate this case. The total amount that the deceived gave to swindlers is 80 thousand hryvnia.
How fraudsters deceived an evader
A 31-year-old resident of Kyiv told law enforcement officers that he wanted to get fake documents to travel abroad. Currently, the applicant temporarily resides in the territory of the Kozovsky community of the Ternopil region, so he turned to the police in the city of Berezhany.
According to the victim of the scammers, the first “necessary” advertisement was found on the Internet. The swindler promised to make a student ID for $1,500.
The Kyivian believed and immediately overturned almost 50 thousand hryvnias. But the scammer stopped communicating. But the deceived man did not give up and continued to look for ways to escape from the country during martial law.
The man found the next ad in one of the messengers. They already promised to make other documents – a medical certificate of unfitness for military service. The issue price was 37 thousand hryvnia. However, after the transfer of money, the man again stopped receiving responses to his messages.
What threatens for such a crime
Law enforcement officers are investigating this case under the article of the Criminal Code on fraud. If the suspects can be found, they may even face three years in prison.
However, the police emphasized that the deceived man was relatively lucky. After all, border guards often reveal the facts of forgery of documents and immediately hand over the evaders to the police. For the use of fake documents, you can go not abroad or to the army, but to prison for 2 years.
