Kostroma Resident Defrauded by Operators from Tajikistan
A Kostroma resident was scammed by operators from Tajikistan using a scheme involving product liking and advance payments. Initially, 30,000 rubles were transferred, but the demands escalated to 60,000 and then 80,000 rubles as penalties. The victim only recognized the fraud after these increasing demands and reported it to the police.
A resident of Kostroma fell victim to a scam perpetrated by individuals based in Tajikistan. The entire scheme was based on the concept of product liking and advance payments. The fraudsters initially lured the victim with promises of easy supplementary income. The established system required the victim to 'like' products and make advance payments for them. The first step involved a transfer of 30,000 rubles to an account in Tajikistan. However, the situation escalated rapidly when the fraudsters subsequently demanded additional funds: first, 60,000 rubles, and then another 80,000 rubles as a so-called 'penalty.' Only when these demands increased did the victim fully realize the deception and contact the police. This case highlights the complexity of international scams that affect local communities and arise from tempting promises.
