Delphi received an official comment from the police about the fraud in the guise of a famous basketball player. The situation was also known to officials on Friday, but the suspect had already been arrested on Saturday.

“A pre-trial investigation was initiated in accordance with article 182 of the Penal Code. 2 d. (fraud). The suspect was arrested this morning and taken to the police station. During the search, several objects with the attributes of “Žalgiris” were found in his house. So far, he has been detained, ”Vilnius County said. LSC spokesperson.

Delphi recalls that the story began with a post on social media about a girl caught in a deceptive trap.

The girl’s story was spread online

The girl is said to have hit Tinder after meeting a guy who convinced her that she was a famous R. Jokubaitis basketball player. The guy fraudulently lured a huge amount of money from the victim, for which she allegedly turned to the police.

“Be careful. This story happened to my friend and she asked you to share it in this group so that all of you will be attentive and vigilant when you receive a Tinder message from VB (name known by publisher), impersonating by Rokas Jokubaitis from Žalgiris on social media, and seriously here.

The story is this. My friend contacted a guy who introduced himself by the name of Rokas Jokubaitis on the Tinder app, but he didn’t say anything to my friend because she wasn’t interested in basketball at all. Of course, after such a presentation, he found Rokas Jokubaitis on Google, did his homework.

The vigilant girlfriend knew that everything that boy said could be a lie. But, a classic, he offered to meet her to show that she was indeed Rokas Jokubaitis and they could continue to communicate calmly. He approached her with the last “Arteon” marked with the “Žalgiris” emblems, he was wearing “Žalgiris” clothes (sponsor marks everywhere, Rokas Jokubaitis surname, number, orally, everything). And folks, believe me, well cruelly similar to Jokubaitis. And that’s where it all started.

The boy used to go to my friend’s Vilnius every day (in the morning he goes to “train” in Kaunas, then he returns to Vilnius to my friend’s house, and at night – again to train). He was constantly sending him videos from the Žalgiris arena, sending him videos as he accompanied the team to the plane (he literally followed Žalgiris’ bus with his car). He met with different “Žalgiris” trainings, sweaters, jackets every time they met, everything was marked with posters of sponsors, Rokas Jokubaitis and their number. He had a car, suitcases, sports bags with all these brands.

Throughout it, he would always tell her to watch the competition and then call her to discuss it: “Did you see how I …?”, “And did you notice that?” And he shared all kinds of secrets about what the team is talking about inside. Oh, and they were still sending videos from the Radisson Hotel, where the entire Žalgiris team was staying before the competition.

When they go out for a walk, some people (as he called them friends) definitely come up to them and say, “Hi Rokai, how are you? They bought a computer together, which he bought on behalf of Rokas Jokubaitis. Together with my friend, they went to the gym to go to the gym; they approached him there again on behalf of Rokas Jokubaitis. In a word, the guy had thought so much about every detail that he didn’t even cut off his head.

The saddest thing is that while they communicated like this for two months, he wove another story. He and his agent allegedly made some mistakes in completing the STI statement, which led to the blocking of his bank card. This means that he asked you for money (obviously in cash, because the card was “blocked”). Saying he’s Rokas Jokubaitis, could he cheat? Today he owes him almost 10,000. euros.

The culmination. Yesterday he left his phone at my friend’s apartment. And you know what girls who are left alone with their boyfriends’ phones do … That’s right. On that phone, he found the truth, in short, he saw who that guy really was (correspondence, photos, identification photos, etc.).

Clearly, she kept a cool mind, although she already realized that she had been misled, to put it mildly, but she tried to ask, explain, give him a chance to tell the truth. He said, “Tell me who you are, I won’t tell anyone.” But he told her: “I am Rokas Jokubaitis, if you go to four psychotherapy sessions, you can come back with me.” And that is. Happened yesterday. Today my friend is writing a report and I hope that everything ends well and that with as much disgust as he is, he gets what he deserves.

Girls, if you are a victim of this person, write to me, I will refer you to my friend whose story I described. Keep this story in mind, tell a friend. Don’t be fooled and be vigilant. We protect and protect each other “, it is written on Facebook.

The basketball player himself reacted

Delphi on Friday he addressed a spokesperson for R. Jokubaitis, who currently plays sports in Athens.

“We learned about this story from soc. networks. From the information seen in the public space and the complementary stories, this story seems to be true. Of course, it is unpleasant for both the club and Rokas that “Žalgiris” or his name is used, “commented” Žalgiris “spokesperson Almantas Kiveris.

R. Jokubaitis himself Delphi He said that this story is truly unique.

“I don’t think anyone has heard a similar story and that money is being attracted in that way. I don’t really understand what’s going on yet, but I see things like that negatively because my name is being used without my knowledge and people are being misled, but there is also a good side, because this story is really instructive and when everything came out in public, it will protect people from thefts and even bigger scams, ”said the athlete.
