" She saw an announcement about the sale on a website. It contained a link to an Instagram profile as a contact," the press service of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs told PenzaNews.

The department specified that the girl had agreed about purchasing the fur coat by messaging and transferred the money to an e-wallet.

"She has not received the good yet. The profile on the social network has been blocked," the press service noted.

The department added that at that moment police officers were taking measures to identify persons involved in the crime.
