Members of a gang that commits fraud using the names of celebrities recently victimized many citizens by using the name of singer Ebru Polat. The fraudsters gained the trust of the citizens they ensnared with statements like, "Ebru Polat is also our supporter, she is behind us." The fraudsters reached out to citizens with ads for "soap packaging at home," asking victims to pay 500 lira upfront with the promise of sending materials. Subsequently, the amount they requested under the guise of "shipping fees" kept increasing. RETURNING TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION, SHE CHASED THE GANG.After being informed by her followers, the singer wanted to reach out to the account holders but her attempts were unsuccessful as the fraudsters blocked Polat's account. The singer then returned to her legal profession and began pursuing the fraudsters. "WE ARE CRACKING DOWN ON A LARGE FRAUD GANG"Polat, who filed a criminal complaint against the account holders at the prosecutor's office, stated, "I returned to my profession, and as soon as I did, we cracked down on a very large fraud gang and we are dismantling a fraud gang. An investigation has been initiated against them. There is a gang that specifically targets housewives, saying, 'We will package soap at your home, but for security reasons, you need to deposit 500 lira as a down payment.' They particularly say, 'You will work from home, you will deposit 500 lira, and then we will send you the products.' When they send the products, they suddenly demand, 'We sent you the products, the shipping cost is 4 thousand lira, you need to send that too.' You say, but there is no such thing. The moment you say, 'You asked for 500 lira, I can't send 4 thousand lira,' the threats begin. The threats are as follows: 'If you don't send that 4 thousand lira, we will initiate legal action against you, we will send enforcement to your home,' from a fraud gang that speaks in this manner. They have been around for about 2 years, and many people have been victimized. Hundreds, but for some reason, nothing has happened until today," she expressed. "IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THEY ARE CAUGHT"Continuing her remarks, Polat said, "The fraud gang made a mistake by sharing me on their page. You know, I am also an artist. They shared me by photoshopping and said, 'Ebru Polat is our biggest supporter,' of course, they didn't know I was a lawyer. Immediately, my fans sent me messages, 'Ebru Hanım, there is such a situation, can we trust this?' I said, 'Do not trust them, they are fraudsters, I do not know them at all, I have no knowledge of this Photoshop. Do not trust them,' and I saved many people from this situation. Then we immediately filed a complaint and initiated an investigation against them. We now say good luck to them because it is only a matter of time before they are caught. We have identified who they are." she stated.
