The victim of fraud has sued a woman from Sverdlovsk for the money with interest that she herself had transferred.

      The Karpinsk City Court ordered a 23-year-old resident of the city to return 300,000 rubles that were transferred to her bank account by a woman who became a victim of fraudsters.

      As established in court, on January 30, 2025, an unknown person messaged a resident of Bataisk and convinced her to deposit money into a so-called "safe account." Following the instructions of the criminal, the woman transferred 300,000 rubles to the specified details via an ATM. It later turned out that the account was registered to a resident of Karpinsk, with whom the victim had no contractual relationship.

      A criminal case for large-scale fraud was initiated on February 13, 2025, regarding the incident.

      As part of the civil claim, the prosecutor's office demanded the recovery of the transferred funds as unjust enrichment. The court supported this position and ruled in absentia to recover from the defendant not only 300,000 rubles but also interest for the use of someone else's funds—over 60,700 rubles—as well as a state duty of more than 11,500 rubles.
