By police officers of the Kastoria Security Sub-Directorate, Internet fraud was detected, σε περιοχή της Καστοριάς και σχηματίσθηκε δικογραφία σε βάρος 28χρονου ημεδαπού.
Specifically, ημεδαπός κατήγγειλε ότι εξαπατήθηκε, καθώς έπειτα από αγγελία που ανήρτησε στο διαδίκτυο για πώληση αυτοκινήτου, ο 28χρονος επικοινώνησε μαζί του και αφού του παρουσίασε ψευδές γεγονός ως αληθινό, τον έπεισε να του παραχωρήσει το όχημα, χωρίς ωστόσο να καταβάλλει το χρηματικό αντίτιμο των -2.500- euro.
Προανάκριση ενεργεί η Υποδιεύθυνση Ασφάλειας Καστοριάς.
On the occasion of this incident, The General Regional Police Directorate of Western Macedonia reminds some useful advice to citizens to avoid cheating online:
• Avoid depositing money to private sellers, whom they do not know, even if they disclose their details or their bank account number.
• Be especially wary when they find ads for the sale of vehicles-motorcycles-mobiles at attractive prices, as a "market opportunity".
• In any case, to seek the intersection of the truth of the sale of a vehicle-motorcycle, their technical examination (in an authorized workshop preferably) before the transaction as well as the demonstration of their marketing authorization, in order to, as far as possible, exclusion of a stolen vehicle-motorcycle case.
• Pursue meeting planning (appointment) for demonstration of the vehicle to be done in busy places and places and not in deserted locations, for security reasons.
• In case they find out that they have been the victim of internet fraud, please notify the Police immediately, even in the event of an attempted fraud against them.
It is emphasized that the perpetrators avoid personal presence with the victims, seeking solely telephone communication with them, through various telephone connections or the mediation of third parties, to minimize the risk of their detection and arrest.
