holiday season - the busiest time for fraudsters operating in trains.The heat and can make holiday and the proximity of passenger and vigilant citizens become victims of impure thoughts and eager for another's good.Here are the top 10 pitfalls of swindlers in trains.
1. Focus the laundry
24-year-old Irina Zabegalova from Perm, sent to relatives in St. Petersburg, bought the e-ticket on the train.second-class place of payment, along with bedding.Since the owners of the travel document, purchased online, at planting enough to present only a passport, tickets she did not print.The coach Irina got no problem, they came later, when the train started.
- Closer to the night, I asked the conductor to give bed linen, but she said that it was not paid, - says Irina.- And since the printout of the ticket at the hands I had had to fork out for 112 rubles.
that time I thought it was an unfortunate misunderstanding, but recently found out that my friend was in the exact same situation.Apparently, this is such a layout.
As explained in the Federal Passenger Company (FPC) are not aware of is paid for bedding or not, the conductor can not.For half an hour before the start of the voyage he passed bill, which specifies not only the passport data of passengers and the number of places where they go, but the fact of payment of linen when buying an electronic ticket.
- In the event of dispute the passenger has the right to appeal to the head of the train, - advises the employee FPC Elena Miroshnikova.- Even if the conductor shall recover the money, he is obliged to issue a receipt to the passenger, who in turn can contact the FPC in the complaint procedure.The money returned to him, unless he really has paid linen.But it is advisable still at planting carry a printout of the ticket.
2. FREE - so vain
Vadim Shkurpatov traveled from Chelyabinsk to Moscow on normal paper ticket, but also fell into the trap.On the road, the man discharged mobile phone and the socket in the car were not working.I had to ask the conductor to put the phone on charge in its compartment.
- She put a price: 50 rubles per hour - says Vadim.- More than a day mobile sat several times - I'm in it to play games, to something to do, and recharge five times.In general, the conductor did not go for nothing.Especially as I was, perhaps, no one was.
fact, the conductor had no right to charge money for the use of Vadim outlet.There is a list of free services: absolutely all the passengers, including riding in the car with reserved seats, have the right to charge their equipment, but also can rely on medicines from first aid kits, drinking water, on the brush for shoes and board games.So Vadim besides free entertaining recharge his phone, he could boldly ask the conductor checkers or chess.
3. «I borrow five minutes»
Nikolai Kazakevitch went from Voronezh to Rostov-on-Don to friends.Checkers and chess did not interest him, the young man took a brand new tablet on the road and watched a movie.In conjunction with the neighbor boy met Michael.Travel drank beer, talked to each other a few cases of life, and then Michael lent Nicholas tablet "for five minutes" to send a message to relatives.Out in the corridor and disappeared along with an expensive gadget.Nicholas did not expect such a turn - a stranger he would not trust the device, and for half a minute, but it was a neighbor in the compartment!
- Fraudsters before you commit a crime, rubbed into the trust, - says head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the MOI of Russia's Southern Federal District, Vyacheslav Pevchenko.- They're well dressed, happy to talk about themselves, and they suspect malice difficult.Once the offender establishes contact with the victim, he or asks expensive phone to call, or taken to guard the bag companion, and then with the catch goes to the nearest station.They go
such "experts", usually with false passports or alien.Therefore, to calculate and it is difficult to catch them.
However, most of the crimes, says the transport police, committed the fault of the passengers themselves and not by deception and fraud, and theft is common.People leave belongings unattended, and when returning to the place, it turns out that they have withdrawn.So blame the criminals especially not worth it.Though they are found in trains, but do not earn so much because of the creativity and artistry, but because of the carelessness of travelers.
4. Trains Ukrainian direction work moneychangers who cheat passengers by 100-150 hryvnia in the exchange of Russian cash.
5. still on the railways are many peddlers that come true counterfeit products.For example, last summer on the Dnieper railway fraudsters sold cheap "caviar" made from fish oil, algae and chemical - sodium alginate.
6. item can be quite high quality, and a crook pinches change.With the words, "Now someone else selling and delivery of the faithful", he disappears from the broth.
7. In long-distance trains still come across girls who bred men.In the dining car, they give birth to a single passenger acquaintance, provoking him to drink, bring up to standard, and escorted to the compartment after the client is completely disconnected, carry with them values.
8. Experienced thieves get into a locked compartment with a ruler or a conventional comb with broken teeth.At night, the castle guard should be lifted and paste it some object - such as a box of matches or the eraser.Then, outside the thief will not be able to stick to your tool slot.
9. not settle gambling with strangers in a train ride and cheats.They work in teams of 3-4 people, the victim was given first win, then forced to make a big bet and play up to the nines.
10. Sometimes "on the outer reaches of" Russian railways meet Guides werewolves.A few minutes before the departure time the train comes in the form of a pair of conductors: they collect the money for the linens and take tickets, and just before leaving the composition of the administration.Tickets they give to the cashier station through a person.
