The woman who exchanged an envelope full of 200,000 euros for Uzbek currency in the blink of an eye in front of a lawyer in Budapest and her client, an owner, pretended to be the representative of an Italian businessman. The lawyer suspected that the fraudster was in a hurry to leave the meeting, who had been stopped in a taxi in front of the building.
The police report revealed that the foreign woman was a member of a criminal gang that had already committed several crimes in Hungary using similar methods. This is called the rip deal method.
This time they tried to trick a woman from Budapest who wanted to sell her family’s house. On behalf of an Italian businessman, a Romanian woman called several times to inquire about the ad and ask for € 200,000 for her role as mediator.
The woman also arranged a meeting with the Romanian and a lawyer in Budapest to agree on the details. The fraudster asked to be presented with the money already at the meeting, which happened. The woman is on she accidentally dropped the envelope in her purse and then quickly returned it, saying that she would not ask for the money in advance, which would be due to her for her role as mediator.
The lawyer suspected that after all this, the foreign woman quickly left, so they opened the envelope in which the euro should have been. However, it did not contain euro banknotes, but rather Uzbek banknotes. 200 Uzbek sums are worth just over five florins.
The lawyer ran right behind the woman he had managed to catch in the taxi. He then called the police officers, who arrested the Romanian woman. It turned out that other Hungarian sellers had been similarly misled: on one occasion, misled businessmen found paper papers in deceptively exchanged envelopes.
