We were victims of a grandiose swindle – the citizens of Khabarovsk on a bill scandal

A huge scandal in the banking sector erupted in the Khabarovsk territory and the neighboring regions of the Far Eastern Federal District.

– My mother lives in Lesozavodsk, Primorsky Krai. She is a retired English teacher, I live in Khabarovsk myself. We decided that it was time for her to move to our city. We decided to buy an apartment, but the accumulated money was only about one million. A year ago, with my mother, we asked ATB bank branch, decided to open a deposit interest. They opened a deposit. Mom in Lesozavodsk went to the bank every month and renewed the filing for a new term, said Anna Emelyanova, wife of Khabarovsk, to a correspondent of Territory IA Khabarovsk today

. And bank employees to my mother every visit for the renewal of the contribution were convinced to use their new product and invest money not on the deposit, but in a certain invoice . In June of this year, she calls me and says: there is no money! In fact, in March she succumbed to persuasion and, instead of the deposit, she invested the total amount in the bill for three months. She arrived at the end of the time to take money with interest, and she was informed that ATB bank could not pay the money.

At the same time, neither the mother of Anna Yemelyanova nor the other citizens of the original of the most valuable titles. did not receive. Officially, she was to be in the bank Asia-Pacific on deposit.

– None of the residents of the Khabarovsk Territory who sent us a complaint about this paradoxical situation even had copies of the bill in which they invested millions of rubles. People have bought "a cat in a bag," explained Denis Lokantsev, head of the public organization for the protection of consumer rights "Resonance", to the correspondent of the agency. – There is not even any decryption in the purchase agreement, what is FTK LLC. What is it? "Federal Transport Company" or after all "Financial and Commercial Corporation"? Not even the TIN is specified. It was a real scam

– Yes, we have been victims of a grandiose swindle, admitted Anna Embelya, the daughter of an ATB investor from Lesozavodsk. – FTC is a structure affiliated with the same bank. Now, at the address in Moscow, where she is officially registered, there is already no one. We have in hand detailed instructions that have been sent to ATB staff, with recommendations on how to convince retirees to purchase these questionable bills. The worst thing that customers were offered in the design of these models, to sign a certain statement of risks badociated with the acquisition of securities. It was mentioned here that the Asia-Pacific Bank where the bill was drafted, is not obliged to the depositor, it is necessary to address personally to Moscow to OOO "Finance and Trade Company "at the address of this structure. However, representatives of the "FTC" in the responses to citizens' claims, in fact, "transfer the arrows" to the bank, where the invoices issued. – LLC "FTC" has an agreement with ATB, pursuant to which the bank has purchased promissory notes of OOO "FTC" for sale to third parties. The future fate of tickets sold to the bank is not known to us – the written reply from the management of OOO Finance and Trading Company states that Reutskaya must return money.
