Fraudsters tried to cash in on the tragedy in the Moscow region.

On February 11, in the Ramensky district of the Moscow region, an An-148 passenger aircraft of the Saratov Airlines crashed, as a result of which 71 people died. As it became known to the resource Avia.pro, despite the tragic plane crash, the circumstances of which continue to be clarified by experts, the scammers tried to profit from this, and collect money for the funeral of the victims.

It is reported that a certain Dmitry Ershov asked a user on the Vkontakte social network to provide financial assistance for the funeral of a relative who allegedly died in the catastrophe, while the man asked for any funds, in particular, he was satisfied with the amount of 100 rubles.
