You don't need to write any statements. It is enough to enter the name of the alleged fraudster into the database.

Many people are not very good at legal literacy. Because of this, they are often deceived by scammers on the Internet. To fix this, the state has created several useful sites where you can find out if they are trying to deceive you.

1. Break through the base of enforcement proceedings

If your new friend asked for money for an operation for a relative, don't rush to shell out. Perhaps you are not the first one from whom he borrows money and disappears without a trace. To check this, go to the offices of the Federal Bailiff Service, enter the name of a friend in the database and see if there are any production cases hanging on him.

2. Look at the wanted list

Dating sites have already become the norm in 2019. However, criminals are often registered on them and are looking for a "soul mate" in order to hide from the police. To check such citizens, use the site of bailiffs. Here you can find out if a person from a dating site is on the wanted list.

3. Check passport

At various online flea markets, the seller sends the goods only after prepayment. This is a normal practice, but not everyone is clean on hand. Before paying, ask the seller to send your passport details and check them with the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If your passport turns out to be invalid or stolen, don't do business with that person.

4. Find out information about legal entities

Doubtful contractors can also be checked. Let's say you started a renovation and an unknown company offers you to buy interior doors. If in doubt, enter its name on the tax office, get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. It may very well be that this company has already been liquidated and does not have the right to engage in any entrepreneurial activity.
