Russians were warned about a new fraudulent scheme when buying a car in Kyrgyzstan

Russians planning to buy cars in Kyrgyzstan have been warned about a fraudulent scheme that has spread there. The Baza Telegram channel writes about her.

Scammers buy and register a car in Kyrgyzstan, after which they sell it to a Russian citizen. After transporting the car to the country and registering it, the previous owner of the vehicle reports it stolen in his home country. As a rule, this is followed by the seizure of the car from the Russian owner, who is unaware of the fraud.

So, some time after the sale of the Lexus GX 460, the intermediate owner filed a report of theft, and the car was seized from the buyer from Russia.

Some of the deceived purchasers go to court with the problem. Thus, a BMW X6 M Competition purchased in Bishkek for 49,700 euros (about 4.8 million rubles) and delivered to Moscow via Lithuania also turned out to be wanted. The Russian court supported the bona fide buyer.

There have been recorded cases where this scheme is used for insurance payments. In Novosibirsk, a resident of Kyrgyzstan, Khusayinzhon I., reported the theft of a Toyota Camry, although the car had previously been sold to Kazakhstan. At the same time, he turned to the insurer and received more than 900 thousand rubles. During the investigation, it was established that the theft statement was part of a fraudulent scheme. Khusayinzhon I. and his accomplice Sergei O. appeared in court.
