Ekaterinburg residents are concerned about the appearance of a gang of scammers in the city, which, with the threat of large fines, makes pensioners change completely serviceable meters. Participants of the group were seen in different parts of the city.

They operate according to a well-developed scheme: one of the houses comes into the courtyard, they part at the entrances and start offering new meters to pensioners, because they are supposedly out of date, although in reality it is not so. The replacement of equipment is vtuhivayut exclusively for the elderly. The cost of the service is from 3800 to 4900 rubles.

"Four young people of a representative species, including one woman, arrived in the courtyard in the morning on a domestic-made car,. Taking in hands, apparently, for solidity, a folder of bright blue and red flowers, the arrivals dispersed along the entrances. People seemed suspicious to me, and I took them off. Then I learned that they had divorced someone from the pensioners in the next house, "- say JustMedia. ru inhabitants of one of the houses on Sofya Perovskaya street.

One of the city's managing companies through its newspaper has already asked its residents to be vigilant and again remind their elderly relatives that it is impossible to open the door to strangers.

"Pressure is exerted on residents, threats of non-existent fines are received.

At a time when a couple of people intimidate a resident, the third already tears the seals of the management company and the state inspector from the installed meter. Or they just take a counter and threaten that they will leave everything, and the owner will get big fines. The frightened residents give money, instead of turning to the police or calling the management company ".
