Russia " Volga Region
Fraudsters disappeared, husbands were filled with anger, and deceived women, after crying, went to the police and asked to find the scoundrels...
- Excuse me, are you a Muslim or a Christian? I see you here often. For a long time I wanted to ask you, but I did not dare to bother. But we mustn't hesitate; otherwise it will be too late.
- What's too late?
- You have a cross under your eye," the gypsy explained to the perplexed woman. - Someone has cast a spell. And your husband is ill. Do his legs hurt? No? And his back?
- He's been complaining lately.
- It's going to get even worse - he won't be able to straighten up. And the children might get sick.
This was how the gypsy woman (some called her the Greek woman) skillfully plaited words and fooled the heads of gullible women who lived in the Avtozavodskiy district. And the technology of seduction consisted of several stages. If the black-haired woman saw that the potential victim was on the point of contact, she brought him to her accomplice for more persuasion. The latter, in contrast to the fortuneteller, was a Russian whose large eyes literally shone with kindness. According to the script the second woman played the part of the cured.
- How do you feel? - The gypsy asked almost solemnly.
- As if born again.
- Did you fulfill all my recommendations?
- Of course," answered the "healed" and, turning to the potential victim, explained: "I owe my life to this sorceress. She also put my son on his feet. He had so much pain in his back that he couldn't walk.
If the credulous woman listened attentively, the scammer was in no hurry to leave, the third stage of materialization of spirits and distribution of elephants came. The gypsy offered to take one out of an apparently new pack of needles and clench it in her fist. Not understanding what it was for, the woman dutifully did.
- Now let's see if you have a spell or not. If the steel needle changed color, it means that you were jinxed. Open your fist, do not be afraid.
Woman unclenched her fingers and to her horror found that the needle became something greenish rusty. She did not know how to explain it, and did not realize that the cheaters have another "test" - with the egg, which suddenly turns dark.
Then the gypsy woman explained to the confused victim that spoilage and all kinds of contagion are usually transmitted through money (through how many hands they will pass) and gold. Accordingly, in order to defeat the affliction, it is necessary to recite prayers. Immediately the Russian accomplice gave her jewelry to the gypsy woman, who read something and quietly returned the gold.
After that came the final stage of the bloodless robbery. The fraudsters explained that it was necessary to go home and take money and gold to them.
- Just make sure your husband doesn't see it. Otherwise you can not cure him, will stunt - they warned.
And what do you think, dear readers? That this is the twenty-first century and no one succumbs to the medieval tricks? But it's not so! The women from Avtozavodsk went home and took money out. One even tricked her husband by asking him from the balcony to look after her little daughter, who had been left in a baby carriage. While the head of the family was showing her fatherly feelings from a distance, the woman gathered up her most valuable things and took them to the gypsy. She gave her a bottle of "holy" water and a leaf with a prayer on it. So walk to the corner of the house, splash some water on it, and read the paper. In the meantime, we'll clean your money and gold.
It's easy to see how it ended. The cheaters disappeared, the husbands grew angry, and the deceived women, after crying, went to the police and asked to find the scoundrels. Dmitry Molokoyedov, an investigator of the Avtozavodsky police department, has several such criminal cases, and he is inclined to believe that not all the victims went to the police. By the way, do you know how much money the last victim lost? 63500 rubles.
But not all Roma women molest the townspeople on the street. A certain Panchenko (identified by the victims and put on the federal wanted list) went door-to-door, allegedly collecting alms. As an observant woman, she immediately identified people she could seduce. Usually they were teenagers or old ladies.
- Oh, I will not take your food, I will not take. Your bread is black. Somebody's got a curse on you. It could be a big disaster. We must heal before it's too late," the gypsy woman began to wail, and lured away one gold ring after another...
Another criminal case was initiated in the Central Department of Internal Affairs. Its essence is as follows. Tired of loneliness lady who had not yet lost hope to build a family nest, met with an imposing young man. Ruslan (so he introduced himself) was courteous in words and passionate in his views. The lady did not take long and invited him to her house.
Waking up after a rough night, she did not find in the apartment of her lover and the most valuable things. But there was a note on the table. Ruslan told her that he was forced to take the money and things in order to... cure syphilis.
So far the criminal case was opened on the fact of theft, because the incubation period of this venereal disease is long enough and signs do not manifest themselves immediately. Or maybe the "macho" who didn't like something was just making a bad joke. In any case, he is a scoundrel.
