In Kamensky, a man took money from a woman for repairs but ended up building a "castle in the air."

In Zheltye Vody, police have submitted an indictment to the court against a fraudster who took an advance payment from a woman for apartment repairs and then disappeared. This was reported by "Vidomo" citing the National Police of Dnipropetrovsk region.

Law enforcement officials discovered that the victim had posted an advertisement online seeking a contractor for repairs in her apartment. A stranger responded to her ad, offering his services. Upon assessing the scope of work, the man claimed that an advance payment was necessary for purchasing construction materials. The victim agreed and transferred part of the money to his bank card. However, the contractor delayed the repairs and kept making excuses about purchasing materials. As a result, the apartment owner paid the worker over 52,000 hryvnias. Yet, the promised repairs were never completed, and eventually, he stopped responding to the client's calls.

Investigators identified the perpetrator, who turned out to be a 34-year-old local resident.

The suspect has been notified of the charges for committing a criminal offense under parts 1 and 2 of Article 190 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Investigators have completed the pre-trial investigation and sent the indictment to the court.
