2025: Loss of an apartment for 50 million rubles in the center of Moscow due to telephone fraudsters
On February 11, 2025, it became known that the Soviet and Russian theater and film actress Elena Zorn was a victim of telephone scammers. The attackers forced the woman to re-register an apartment in the center of Moscow, the cost of which is about 50 million rubles.
According to reports, TASS referring to the information received in the capital's GU, the MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS Russia incident occurred in September 2024. Zorn for about two weeks called unknown persons, convincing the actress to rewrite the apartment on 3rd Frunzenskaya Street. For this, the woman was offered to issue a temporary rent agreement. As a result, the actress signed documents for 14 million rubles, which is three and a half times less than the estimated value of real estate, which is 50 million rubles.
The law enforcement agencies reported that immediately after the execution of the transaction, a certain courier came to Zorn, who took 180 thousand rubles from her as a commission for the execution of the contract. The woman realized that she had become a victim of fraudsters only a few months later, after which she turned to the police. The law enforcement agencies report that a check is being carried out on the application for fraudulent actions. According to preliminary data, calls could come from the territory of Ukraine.
Telegram channel Shot adds that the attackers forced Zorn to sign an annuity agreement, according to which they will be able to completely take possession of real estate after the death of the actress. As of mid-February 2025, the woman remains in her apartment. According to neighbors, she leads a closed lifestyle. Sometimes acquaintances come to visit her, while children and grandchildren do not visit the actress. The police clarify the details of what happened: after the completion of the check, as noted, the necessary procedural decision will be made.[1]
