Fraudsters in VKontakte at auctions

And yet I fell for the bait of scammers.

Auctions are held on the social network Vkontakte. Seeing that there was an auction for Italian leather, I decided to take a chance and I.

.

The auction was held by Solid Brass.

The start began with 500 rubles, step 50 rubles.

It was clear that Osipova Irina won. On this one could calm down and go about their business.

However, a message came from a certain Eduard Borisov, and I, thinking that a miracle happened, and this is Eduard Borisov, an employee of Solid Brass, I was delighted.

Vague doubts were, but I still paid.

After the payment was made, another message came that the payment did not go through. After that, it became immediately clear that they were scammers.

I immediately wrote a message in the auction. I saved one person, however, at least one other person was also caught.

Solid Brass wrote that "no need to respond to fake accounts." Later they advised me to call the bank.

An employee of the Tinkoff bank immediately blocked both my card and my personal account.

Further, an employee of Tinkoff Bank stated that "According to the rules of international payment systems, it is impossible to cancel a transfer from card to card." Where are the international rules? In Russia, where is the payment system local?

The employee focused on the rules of Mastercard and Visa, but these systems do not work in Russia! Why refer to something that does not exist in nature?

Also, a Tinkoff bank employee advised me to contact the police.

Further, Tinkoff Bank stated that I myself transferred this money and they would not return anything. If Tinkoff Bank appeals to international laws, then they should know that with such fraudulent schemes in the USA and Europe, money is returned at the expense of the bank.

Qiwi Bank, where the money was transferred, also stated that the money can only be resolved by a court decision. It is clear that in Russia this is unrealistic.

Interestingly, Eduard Borisov's account remained functional, even after a complaint about fraud. Of course, now you can do any number, but just in case: 89826080784.

It remains to be sorry for Svetlana Osipova, who not only got scammers with money, but also paid for the ill-fated skin at full price.

Questions remain in this story:

1. Is Solid Brass so clean if she announced the winner one hour later! after the end of the auction, giving odds to scammers?

2. Why is there no protection against fraud by Russian banks, or do the deputies have only one question, how to catch themselves?
