Good day, I’m a Canadian Airforce Veteran and sent money to Daniil Tigranovich Stepanian as a downpayment on an apartment in Poland. He posed as a landlord and scammed me $1620 Canadian dollars. I was able to find his bank using the visa number the fraudster sent me: (4441xxxx5383143). Please see bank response:

Good afternoon, thank you for your report. Measures have been taken against the client in accordance with internal instructions. I am sincerely sorry that this situation has occurred. In such cases, we recommend contacting law enforcement agencies.

When we receive an official decision from the court, we will be able to provide law enforcement agencies with information within the framework of current legislation. It is the duty and right of the police to search for and detain fraudsters.

The funds stolen by the fraudsters may be compensated by them according to the court's decision.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Here's a direct course of action you can take:

First, contact your bank immediately and report the transaction as fraud. Please provide them with all details, including the amount sent, the date, the recipient's name (Daniil Tigranovich Stepanian), and any reference or Visa number he gave you. Ask if they can initiate a chargeback or recall the funds.

Next, report the scam to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre. You can do this online or by calling 1-888-495-8501. Include any emails, screenshots, or communication you had with the scammer. Additionally, file a report with your local police department. Even if they can't recover the money, it helps build a record and may assist if international authorities get involved.

Since the scam involves someone posing as a landlord in Poland, report the incident to the Polish Police through their website (https://policja.pl) or via their international affairs email: [email protected].
