A new type of fraud through the courts appeared in Russia

Fraudsters search for more and more sophisticated ways to deceive citizens. Recently, it became known about another scheme, in which courts and bailiffs are involved. At first glance, everything looks quite legal.

Fraudsters use the fact that Russians often do not live at the address of their official registration. They apply to court, referring, for example, to the presence of a debt to them under a loan agreement. Appropriate evidence is attached, and the court notifies the defendant - however, the latter, as expected, does not receive anything, since he or she does not live at the registration address. The judicial authority makes a decision in favor of the plaintiff, who receives a writ of execution and goes to the bailiffs.

As a result, a person learns about the ‘debt’ already at the stage of enforcement proceedings, and it is difficult to challenge the decision under such circumstances, as the court notified the debtor at the official address.

Information security expert Denis Batrankov spoke about the problem to Komsomolskaya Pravda. As a measure to combat such situations, the specialist called the need to control the conduct of any court cases against a person, but not everyone does this.

In addition, it is important to keep in contact with the address of your official registration and control the correspondence that comes to it. After all, a completely legitimate letter can come from official authorities, and proving that a citizen has not received it is sometimes quite pointless.
