The most common type of fraud in the field of home services was 04.27

In a radio interview Sputnik Alla Khrapunova, curator and expert of the Moshelovka project, talked about the most common type of fraud in Russia in the field of home services related to the repair of washing machines. She stated that the project team had received numerous reports of attackers deceiving owners of faulty washing machines.

Khrapunova told how money is most often swindled from people who want to repair household appliances. People find a repair professional online, discuss the cost of the job, then the technician comes out and performs a diagnosis. After that, the master calls and reports that the cost of repair has increased significantly, for example, from 8 to 25 thousand rubles she. As a result, the person either agrees to pay more, or the master refuses to return the part.

Khrapunova also noted that advertisements from fraudulent artists can be found even on reliable Internet resources. Therefore, the best way to protect yourself from cheating is to trust the experience and advice of your friends. Based on reviews from friends, he recommended looking for a handyman and asking people you trust who did the repairs and what results were achieved.
