In Dzerzhinsk, an employee of a company shipped goods worth 5.9 million rubles to a shell company: the director of the LLC reported fraud involving a copy website.

      A statement was received by the police from the head of one of the commercial organizations in the city of Dzerzhinsk. The reason was a significant financial loss of nearly 6,000,000 rubles, which arose due to the actions of fraudsters who created an exact copy of the website of a real legal entity. Employees of a local company, according to a concluded supply contract, shipped more than 900 units of specialized products worth over 5.9 million rubles to an LLC registered in another city via a transport company. The basis for this was the requests and documents received from the counterparty through electronic services on the Internet. After the goods were sent, the funds to the supplier company's settlement account, in accordance with contractual obligations, never arrived. All attempts to contact the purchasing company using the provided details were unsuccessful — representatives of the organization stopped responding. During an internal investigation, employees of the affected company contacted the real director of the very legal entity to which the goods "went." The head of the enterprise stated that his company had not entered into any contracts or made orders for the supply of goods worth nearly 6 million rubles. According to the director, unknown individuals are illegally using the details of his organization. After multiple claims directed at him from other organizations, the entrepreneur contacted the police in another region and learned that the fraudsters had created a phishing copy of the official web resource belonging to his limited liability company on the Internet, continuing to make purchases in various organizations across Russia in its name. A criminal case has been initiated and is being investigated by the police department No. 1 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the city of Dzerzhinsk on the grounds of a crime provided for by part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (fraud), the sanctions of which provide for punishment of up to 10 years in prison. Currently, the police are conducting a comprehensive set of operational-search activities and investigative actions aimed at solving the crime. The police of the Nizhny Novgorod region, in order to prevent fraudulent actions in the field of entrepreneurial activity, recommend that legal entities strengthen measures of digital security and carefully check counterparties, including against the register of unscrupulous suppliers, before concluding civil law contracts. For the "purity" of transactions concluded between organizations, it is recommended to require new counterparties to provide an up-to-date extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on the day of the transaction, to verify phone numbers and email addresses of the company with official sources (Federal Tax Service, Unified Information System), and to check the taxpayer identification number of the recipient of funds - it will always differ among different companies with the same name. For large transaction amounts, make a confirmation call to the official phone number of the organization found independently (and not from documents sent by the counterparty). If illegal actions have been committed against you or your loved ones, immediately contact the duty unit of the nearest police department or call the communication channel 02 (102 - from a mobile phone).
