The internet space is teeming with scammers. His working hours are 24 hours a day. If one cannot be fooled, hundreds of new baits will be released here, Telšiai County reports. policeman.
The director of a company in Šiauliai has just stayed with one of them. In early July, he found an Audi A6 car for sale at an attractive price on the advertising portal www.autoplius.lt.
The ad said that the vehicle for sale was located in Sweden and owned by a company. Since the company has to get new cars, it has decided to sell the old ones. It was agreed to buy the Audi A6 produced in 2018 for only 14,900 euros.
After receiving the booking confirmation, Šiauliai transferred 1,500 euros from the company’s account on the same day. True, it was a bit strange that the money had to be transferred to a personal account, not the account of the company that was selling the car. However, the seller assured that in Sweden the money could also be transferred to an individual. As the price of the car was very tempting, the Lithuanian accepted that explanation without suspecting anything. The next day, the manager transferred the rest of the money and sent a car transporter to Sweden to transport the purchased car. However, at night, the seller began to justify not finding the documents of the machine.
Šiauliai still had no doubts. He asked that the car be loaded and that the documents could be sent later. However, when the car transport driver drove to Stockholm, he found neither his assigned parking space nor the car parked there. After contacting the seller, the Lithuanian learned that he would not be able to sell the car at that time. That ended their deal. Šiauliai could no longer contact the seller of the car, because the phone was turned off and the alleged seller with almost 15 thousand. the euro does not know where it is based.
Not only buying, but also selling a car and other items, you can become a victim of scams. Here, an Estonian citizen almost lost almost 11 thousand euros selling a car. The director of an Estonian car trading company has agreed with a Lithuanian buyer that he will buy a Hummer from them. The director promised that as soon as he received the Lithuanian order, he would immediately put the vehicle on the trawl and send it to Lithuania. These did not receive the money credited to the company account, but received a photo of the completed order and a request to send the car to Lithuania as soon as possible.
The director of the company did just that. And only then did he realize that the order photo said in fine print that the order had been canceled. After calling the buyer, he heard his assurance that there was none of that here, the order failed because it was too much and he promised to bring the money to Jurmala. These also rushed to go to Jūrmala. When the buyer did not agree here, he heard from the latter that he would have problems on the border between Lithuania and Latvia, he would not let him go. These reached the border with Lithuania and could not find a Lithuanian buyer at the agreed location again. By then, he realized that he was being pushed behind his nose and turned to the police.
The buyer, after learning that the police were interested in the purchase and sale transaction, decided to dispose of the car, leaving it in one of the Kaunas parking lots. He informed the Hummer dealer of his whereabouts in a message.
Police officers found the car at the specified location.
This story has a happy ending. But usually relying on copies of shipped orders, analog stories end not only with the loss of items sold or purchased, but also with the loss of money.
While there is no money in the account, do not make the slightest movement. Only transfer large sums of money to trusted and proven business partners. But here, too, the pig can be caught by scammers, introducing himself to his partners and, at the last minute, announcing that his bank account has changed, pointing him to his account and misappropriating his money. It should always stumble below the market price. Therefore, please check and verify the information by contacting your known business partner directly. The safest of strangers to buy in real space, not online.
