Facts of fraud by Mega Credit credit organization revealed

ArmInfo. Facts of fraud by the leadership of the <Mega Credit> credit organization were revealed. According to the Investigative Committee, an investigation is underway to clarify all the circumstances of the crime, as well as to identify the full circle of citizens who suffered from their actions.

In April 2020, a message was received from citizens stating that, in  order to obtain a loan, they applied to the Mega Credit credit  institution, but money was stolen from the loans granted to them  under the contract. 

It turned out that the director of the specified credit organization  and the loan specialist through Facebook distributed an advertisement  about getting loans through banks and credit institutions operating  in the Republic of Armenia through them, and as a fee for the service  provided, they took the amount of 30% of the loan received from  customers. According to the investigation, the director of the credit  organization and the loan specialist filled out online applications  in the name of citizens, however in one case only half of the amount  of the loan received was paid to the client, and in the other they  did not transfer money to the borrower at all, thus having stolen  significant amounts of citizens by fraud.  A criminal case has been  instituted on the fact of part 1 of Article 178 of the RA Criminal  Code (fraud); preliminary investigation is underway.  The body  conducting the proceeding has good reason to believe that other  citizens could suffer from the actions of the director of the credit  organization Mega Credit and the loan specialist. Affected persons  may contact the Investigative Department of the administrative  districts Achapnyak and Davidashen (Yerevan, 10/1 Shinararner St.),  or call 010-39-17-23.
