Unknown Woman F fleeced Omich Out of Money in Fraudulent Translation Scam
Rewritten Article
A local man in Omsk, Russia, finds himself in a sticky situation, facing a hefty bill totaling over 6.95 million rubles – 1.99 million of which was allegedly sent to him from an unidentified woman rumored to hail from a distant city.
On Monday, May 5, 2025, the Sedelnikovsky District Court of Omsk Oblast announced the verdict in a lawsuit filed by a woman residing in Petushki, Vladimir Oblast, against the aforementioned individual for unjust enrichment. According to the court, the lawsuit was served due to funds transferred to the defendant from a supposed unidentified woman, amounting to approximately 1.99 million rubles.
Following are the statements made by the court regarding the case:
"The woman from Petushki decided to sue the man in question for unjust enrichment, citing the fact that a criminal investigation is currently underway by the Russian MVD (Ministry of Interior) in the Petushkin District for the fraudulent act of stealing 2,440,000 rubles, which belong to her. She made the transfer of funds to the defendant's name through a phone number that she discovered," the court statement reads.
Interestingly, the woman also demanded that the defendant pay interest for using her money illegally, attesting that she never knew him and had no financial obligations toward him.
The court ruled in favor of the woman, deciding the case in the defendant's absence. Apart from the return of 1.99 million rubles, the defendant is also required to pay an additional 336,331.15 rubles as interest. Although the man missed the court proceedings, it is unclear if he plans to contest the verdict.
It seems that the defendant could be another case of a "dropper," a term used for a person who provides their card information for a fee, allowing scammers to transfer money to the card under false pretenses. The defendant has previously been linked to such cases. For instance, in the latter half of April, representatives from the Prosecutor's Office of Samara Oblast announced the filing of a lawsuit against a woman whose card allegedly received around 1.981 million rubles from a local woman.
