Fake apartment fraud specialist turns out to be a fraudster

A 48-year-old Kyiv resident who posed as an expert in real estate fraud was found to be involved in scams himself. He forged documents and presented himself as a relative of deceased apartment owners to illegally claim their inheritance. However, his scheme backfired when one of the "deceased" turned out to be alive.

Forging a will

One of the victims of the fraud was a 70-year-old woman living alone. The fraudsters falsified her will and death certificate in an attempt to seize her property.

Hypocrisy on screen

Notably, the accused frequently appeared on television as an "expert" on apartment fraud, explaining how scammers operate. He now faces court for his criminal actions.
