97 lawsuits were filed against him in 17 days: 'I was burned, no one else should be burned'

Allegedly, 30-year-old Nejat Yazıcı, who said that he wanted to use the bank accounts of people he met on social media with the promise of e-commerce in 2022, accepted the offer due to his debts and handed over his accounts in Istanbul. When Yazıcı could not receive the promised payment, he went to bank branches and had his accounts closed. Later, when he wanted to withdraw his disability pension in Gebze, he learned that his account was blocked within the scope of a fraud investigation.

Stating that he remained in prison for approximately 30 months due to the lawsuits filed against him, Yazıcı said that with the support of his family, they covered the losses of the victims and spent approximately 4 million lira in this process.

On the other hand, it was learned that Yazıcı retired on disability after his work accident.

"THEY FRAUDTED DOZENS OF PEOPLE"

Explaining the process he went through, Nejat Yazıcı said, "While I was looking at job postings, I came across an ad. These people said they were dealing in e-commerce business. So I met for a few days. I had to accept this job because I had a lot of debt on July 1, 2022. I hand-delivered my accounts to these people in Istanbul. Then they said they would pay me, but no payment was made. On July 22, I went and closed my accounts, going to the banks one by one. I was going to withdraw my pension, I was allowed to withdraw." "They didn't. I found out that my account was blocked. I filed a criminal complaint against these people. Then, over time, I went to the police station and gave statements. These people defrauded dozens of people in 17 days."

"I GOT BURNED, DON'T THINK SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD BURN"

Stating that there are 97 cases against him, Yazıcı stated that the trial process has not yet started in some of them, and is continuing in some of them.

Yazıcı continued by saying that in 11 of the 17 finalized files, a decision was made to overturn at the execution stage, and in the other 6, a decision to reject was made:

"I don't know what to do. I have a loss of approximately 4 million lira in this process. With the support of my family, I compensated for the losses of all the victims. My sister took out a loan, my father took out a loan. There were payments for lawyers. I am very victimized. I do not want to go to prison again. I went on leave, taking advantage of the law. I had a sentence of nearly 45 years, but it was reduced to 17 years. I want the remaining sentences to be reduced. I want help from the state authorities in this regard. I lost my job. I also warn the citizens and young people; they will definitely lose their accounts, "They should not share their IBAN with third parties. I got burned, so no one else should get burned."
