Unknown Woman Extracts Commission from Alter for Fraudulent Translation Services
Article:
A residential dweller in Omsk will have to pay over six figures on top of 1.99 million rubles, allegedly from an unknown woman hailing from some distant city.
On May 5, 2025, the Sedelnikovsky District Court in Omsk revealed the outcome of a hearing regarding a lawsuit filed by a woman from Petushki, Vladimir Oblast, against a local resident over unjust enrichment. Court documents suggest that the lawsuit was triggered by a transfer of roughly 1.99 million rubles supposedly from an unknown woman.
"The Petushki resident filed a lawsuit claiming unjust enrichment, arguing that a criminal case involving financial theft has been under investigation by the Russian Interior Ministry in Petushki and Vladimir Oblast since July 31, 2024, under the provisions of Article 159 of the Russian Criminal Code, for committing theft of money totaling 2,440,000 rubles belonging to her. She transferred the funds to the defendant's name via phone number X on a combined total of 1,990,000 rubles.", the court statement explains.
Notably, the woman demanded an interest on the amount held by the defendant for using her funds illegally, asserting that she never knew him and had no financial obligations towards him.
The court ruled in favor of the woman, reaching a verdict in the defendant's absence. Alongside returning 1.99 million rubles, the court ordered an additional 336,331.15 rubles as interest. The defendant's stance in the proceedings remains unknown, yet it's noted that he has the right to contest the verdict.
It seems like this is yet another legal proceeding targeting a potential dropper—an individual who, for a fee, provides scammers with their card details to which the victims of the scam later transfer funds. Omiches (short for credit card holders) have frequently been implicated in such cases. For instance, representatives from the Samara Prosecutor's Office announced the filing of a lawsuit against an omiche in mid-April, with approximately 1.981 million rubles transferred to her card from a local woman.
