A woman from Yekaterinburg who tried to get back a sold car using the "Dolina scheme" lost her court case.
A resident of Yekaterinburg who fell victim to fraudsters operating under the "Dolina" scheme was unable to recover the sold car through the courts. The court found that the sale had been concluded of her own free will, despite psychological pressure from the perpetrators.
According to court documents reviewed by RIA Novosti, following instructions from unknown persons is not, by itself, proof that a transaction was made under the influence of deception. It is necessary to establish that the buyer knew or should have known about the fraudulent actions; however, no such evidence was presented.
According to the case materials, in the summer of 2025 the scammers, posing as employees of various agencies, obtained a four-digit code from an SMS sent to the woman. By frightening her with an alleged loan of 1.5 million rubles, they persuaded her to sell the car for 750,000 rubles. The woman handed the received money to an unknown person who subsequently promised to cancel the transaction. After the fraud was uncovered, she went to court, insisting that the buyer had acted in collusion with the fraudsters.
However, the buyer provided evidence of the seller’s voluntary consent to the transaction. As a result, the Kirov District Court of Yekaterinburg, and later the Sverdlovsk Regional Court, dismissed the plaintiff’s claim.
