A 39-year-old woman from Izberbash, Dagestan, has been accused of scamming a 27-year-old resident of the Karabudakhkentsky District out of a gold watch worth 150,000 rubles. The incident unfolded after the suspect responded to an advertisement for the sale of the watch. She promised to pay the seller within a few days but instead resold the watch for 250,000 rubles and used the money to pay off her debts.
The victim, realizing she had been deceived, reported the incident to the police. Authorities are now investigating the case, which highlights the risks of informal transactions and the importance of securing payments before handing over valuable items.
These stories reflect a mix of local developments, infrastructure improvements, and broader geopolitical discussions, underscoring the diverse challenges and opportunities facing the region.
