The Emek program was used in car transactions. Scammers take cars, causing buyers to appear as partners. Lawyers told BAZ about a large-scale fraud where car owners and partners deceive buyers. Sellers seek buyers themselves, lure them with low prices and create the appearance of an ideal deal – a car from the owners, without liens. The trick is that just before the sale, the owner takes a secured loan on the car. The information enters the registry only after 24 hours, so the buyer has no idea. The seller needs this to later look like a 100% victim: immediately after the deal he goes to the police and declares that the con artists forced him to take a loan, sell the car, and give all the money. Then another trick comes in. In the app the seller lists the number of the 'scammer' who supposedly raised him, and then 'by mistake' it turns out that the same SIM card used to contact the buyer at least once. In the end everything looks as if the new owner acted in coordination with the scammers: the police open a file, the car is taken as evidence, and the buyer is also investigated as a possible suspect. Although the evidence is circumstantial and the person is eventually released, many hesitate to claim a refund for fear of criminal prosecution. As a result, the scammers keep the money, and later they can get the car back – as 'victims'. Read the option in MAX
