Lawyer warns of new loan fraud scheme

There are many financial organizations operating in Russia which give money at interest and do not always verify the borrower's identity. This makes it possible to commit various fraudulent activities. This was told to the agency "Prime" on February 10 by a lawyer, partner of the law firm MILL Daniel Gorkov.

According to him, at the moment the execution of a loan takes no more than 10 minutes. In such cases, banks do not conduct a thorough check of the transaction of clients. He also emphasized that the practice of bringing banks to responsibility in such cases has not yet been formed.

In addition, when fraudsters arrange a loan, it is very difficult to track them down, as there are no centralized registers and databases.

"If you are faced with fraudulent actions, it is worth immediately contacting the security service of a particular bank and your lawyer," Gorkov advised.
