In the “News” asked Anna from Kiev. Her 75-year-old uncle became a victim of swindlers who enticed at the elderly man for more than 100 thousand UAH. “Uncle eyesight problems, he tries all sorts of drugs to maintain your health. In April of this year, the uncle had heard on the radio advertising of a drug that supports and improves vision. He called on the phone. No one answered him, but after a few days phoned the girl who was presented by ophthalmologist by Liubov and offered the drug for 8 thousand UAH”, — says Alexandrov us. The man got the medicine he brought courier, and took him almost a month. In may, “ophthalmologist” is again called back and said that Ukraine came up from London and will be free to conduct the survey.

“A few days later the uncle from a hidden room called a Steve, who supposedly works as a medic in the British clinic, and offered to pass the examination of the body on the phone. The Englishman explained that this is a new technology in which magnetic waves from the phone radiation on his computer showing all the lesions of the patient,” says the woman. After this survey of “foreign specialist” said that he knows how to cure the man, but it costs 90 thousand UAH”, — the woman continues. According to her, the man gave all the family savings (70 thousand UAH) to the courier for the jar with unknown pills, a few days later, gave 20 thousand UAH. After that, every evening, Steve called my patient “treated” over the phone. “A week later “doctor,” said uncle loses vital energy and need to take some new vitamins, the price of which $10 thousand, but he is willing to sell two,” says Alexandrov. Man borrows from friends required amount, and he again brought the jars with new caps. Anna Alexandrova went to the police with allegations of fraud, at the same time, her uncle continues to believe that the miracle pill and treatment on the phone will help to restore his eyesight.

Meanwhile, doctors are sounding the alarm. Doctor ophthalmologist Metropolitan hospital Svetlana Rikihisa told “Vesti” that she often treated people, the last “treatment” pseudomedical. “They treat cataract supplements and drops, at a time when surgical intervention is necessary. People believe in the word scams, and then we have to save them. There were even cases when crooks was treating eye diseases with the help of Korean massage therapists and psychics,” she says. And in the Center of eye microsurgery “news” said that the vision on the phone is not treated, and all the drugs the doctors prescribe on an official letterhead.

Supplements for thousands of dollars

“This bad,” said the ex-employee of criminal investigation, lawyer Vladimir Kornienko. According to him, the fraudulent scheme of such a plan are now flourishing all the time. “In most similar cases is to blame the victims themselves. People believe that foreign tablets and foreign experts will cure them from any disease. The attackers are using the gullibility of people and their desire to recover from serious illnesses,” explains the “news” Kornienko. In the practice of the former Opera house had plenty of similar episodes.

“Thousands of dollars selling cosmetics from the Dead sea, the supplements are against Smoking and alcohol addiction and stuff,” says Kornienko. He told how he recently participated in “fishing bait” these scammers.

“Asked the woman under the guise of a miracle-medicines sold usual supplements. Posing as buyers, with the cops we called the salesman and ordered the cure. A jar of beautiful English words brought a student, a courier who never even knew she was lucky. When she tried to call for the meeting place of his boss, he just turned off the phone,” he recalls.

Lawyer Ivan Lieberman said “news” that even if they get a hold of the attackers at the point of sale of pseudoprophets, to prove fraud is very difficult. “Scam artists are well versed in law and know all the gaps of laws. These cases probably fall under civil law than under criminal charges. According to our law, if the seller with the buyer have agreed about the transaction of purchase and sale of goods and services over the phone or even in online correspondence — this is considered an agreement in which there is no fact of the crime. To sue on this issue is extremely difficult,” explains Lieberman. According to him, the scammers are very good psychologists who know how to behave their sacrifices and what they are willing to give their last penny for their salvation. “Typically, fraudsters help these doctors, members of volunteer and charitable organizations that merge information about a patient. And then, knowing about the problems of the victim, to breed her — a trick,” says Lieberman.

“Reported as fraud”

The police in Kiev “news” confirmed that militiamen known facts of sales of so-called dietary Supplements and other drugs under the guise of drugs for all diseases. “But we do not keep separate statistics on these particular types of scams, all cases of the appropriation of funds by deception filed in one “Fraud,” he told us. “People must be vigilant. Before you buy unknown pills, you need to look at what the product is, its name, pharmacological indicators, test certificates of quality and whether the seller permission to implement,” says lawyer Vladimir Kornienko.
