Published on the main website of the project.
The article is devoted to one
of the current topical problems of «Consumer fraud» - criminal activity aimed
at deceiving citizens by selling (forcing) goods or providing services at
inflated prices through deception, abuse of trust or moral and psychological
state of the victim. The author examines in detail several common schemes of
such fraud, such as imposing unnecessary services or equipment on elderly and socially
vulnerable people, and analyzes psychological and legal aspects of these
crimes.
Particular attention is paid
to the vulnerability of the victims, that most often they are lonely elderly
people who, due to lack of information and legal literacy, become easy prey for
fraudsters.
The article also proposes
specific measures to combat this phenomenon, including the re-establishment of
specialized police units, strengthening preventive work, informing the
population and creating hotlines for rapid response. The author emphasizes that
a comprehensive approach, including both legal and social measures, is needed
to effectively counter fraud.
The article will be useful not
only for specialists in law and criminology, but also for a wide range of
readers.
