A resident of Novosibirsk was sent to a colony for five years for the sale of rented housing 
apartment with a local resident and subsequently sold it under a forged passport. The Russian woman was sent to serve time in a general regime colony. This was reported by the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company “Kostroma” with reference to the press service of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As the investigators found out, the swindler arrived in Kostroma from Novosibirsk and rented an apartment with a forged passport. She introduced herself as a pharmacist and claimed that she had arrived in Russia from Belarus. The woman convinced the hostess to give her copies of the documents for the apartment and the owner's passport.
Then the fraudster made fake documents for the house, transferred it to the ownership of a third party, thus illegally enriching herself. The owner found out about the sale of real estate when she did not receive another rental payment and came with a check. She was met by new owners.
They bought an apartment along with appliances and furniture, managed to register at a new address. At the same time, the transaction took place with the attraction of a mortgage and using the maternity capital.
The victim thus lost an apartment worth two million rubles. The suspect in the fraud was quickly detained, the house had already been returned to the previous owner.
Earlier, in October, the Moscow police opened a fraud case against unknown persons who deprived the apartment of a 76-year-old professor at the Russian State Humanitarian University (RSUH) Igor Yakovenko … The scammers first convinced the scientist to transfer large sums of money to third-party accounts, and later convinced him to sell the property and transfer the proceeds to the false police officers.
