In Marhants, police have charged a local con artist for selling a non-existent product.

Officers from Police Department No. 1 of the Nikopol District Administration discovered that a perpetrator had posted several advertisements for the sale of electrical goods on a social media platform at the beginning of January this year. Once potential buyers made a deposit to the scammer's bank card, he would cut off all communication with the victims.
