Investigators reported the suspected fraud to the defendants. They face from a fine to imprisonment.

Malefactors, pretending to be conscientious buyers, under false names ordered a variety of goods in online stores for a full prepayment and dropped photos of fake payment receipts to sellers. After that, the latter sent orders to customers, and they received parcels for free at post offices.

In February, on the special line "102", an entrepreneur from Kiev region reported that he sent goods to two customers in the Odessa region in the city of Belgorod-Dniester, and later, when checking the bank account, he found that there were no payment receipts from them.

With the measures taken, the investigators, together with employees of the criminal police sector of the Belgorod-Dniester district police department, exposed the intruders, who turned out to be two citizens aged 27 and 29 years.

When the pre-trial investigation was ongoing, the senior man, in order to avoid checks on himself and responsibility, offered the deputy head of the investigative department $ 1,000 of illegal benefits. The police officer informed his management about the proposal, and measures were taken to document the illegal actions of the person involved. The investigators have already sent an indictment against him under Part 3 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding the offer and provision of illegal benefits to an official in a responsible position to the court. For this crime, the man faces imprisonment for a term of four to eight years with or without confiscation of property.

Regarding fraud, law enforcement officers found that it was the older man who first started to cheat. Realizing that the scheme worked, he shared it with a friend, once created a fictitious receipt for him, and then he joined the illegal actions himself.

So, in the period from October of last year to February of this year, the attackers 24 times bought goods from eight sellers from the Odessa, Kiev, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Rivne regions. "Purchased" food, clothing, bed linen, cosmetics, children's toys, etc. for a total amount of UAH 104,484.

The police seized part of the purchased products from one of the offenders. In addition, bank cards and mobile phones with information confirming the illegality of their actions were seized from the defendants.

"We collected a sufficient amount of evidence and under the procedural guidance of the Belgorod-Dniester District Prosecutor's Office informed the men about suspicion of taking someone else's property by deception, that is, fraud, in particular committed repeatedly and by prior agreement by a group of persons. This crime is qualified under part 2 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to the current legislation, offenders face a fine of 51 thousand to 68 thousand hryvnias or correctional labor for a period of one to two years, or restriction of freedom for up to five years, or imprisonment for up to three years. The investigation continues," said Pavel Bobchinsky, head of the Belgorod-Dniester District Police Department.
