Criminal proceedings against the scammers
If you sent money to the scammers, you can institute criminal proceedings against the scammers and eventually bring the scammers to the court and maybe even to a jail. Note that if you institute criminal proceedings against the scammers, we will not be able to fulfill our 'Money Recovery' program.
To institute criminal proceedings against the scammers you should send the following papers to the Minister of MVD or UBEP:
- A detailed letter to the Minister of MVD or to the chief of UBEP: See an example.
- Copies of your Western Union receipts.
- All your correspondence with the scammers.
- All her photos, copies of her passport, visa, tickets, etc.
- All other relevant information.
According to the Russian law, the law enforcement body has only 10 days to institute criminal proceedings against a natural person or to reject the claim. It is strongly recommended to send the Russian translation of all the papers along with the originals because most of law enforcement bodies don't have translators on staff or are on a tight budget to hire translators, so 10 days can pass even before they understand what you are complaining about. Then your claim will be rejected.
We can prepare and translate all the papers for you and find the mail address of the corresponding MVD and UBEP. Contact us for the prices.
