The journalist of the TRC "Sigma" Anna Krasnoperova revealed a swindler who, under the pretext of a volunteer, lures money from indifferent citizens. Anna described the story in a post on her Facebook page.

According to the journalist, Elena Ptukha-Povidaychik repeatedly collected money through her bank card, but she did not publish any reports at that time. As an example, Anna Krasnoperova was the case with the collection of funds for the treatment of a young child. First, the volunteer indicated the grandmother's card, but later began to raise funds to her account. Parents say that from the collected funds, the woman did not transfer a penny to them. At the same time, the collection continued even when there was no longer any need for it, parents say.

Journalists conducted their investigation - asked the pseudo-volunteer whether there is a need for money for treatment now, to which the woman replied that the funds are needed, and the child is in serious condition. At the same time, the baby is now at home and his life is not in danger. Journalists saved scanned copies of correspondence.

"Yesterday, July 25, the child's parents told Elena that they knew about her fraud (showed screenshots where she wrote that the child was in a coma). They said that they will publish in social networks about her. After this, the family began to call unknown persons and threaten. They say they know where they live. But Irina and Alexander decided to talk openly about Elena's actions. With their permission, I publish this text and ask for maximum distribution, "- wrote Anna Krasnoperova.
