The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (MIA of Russia) has issued a warning regarding a significant increase in offers for quick earnings disseminated through popular messengers. Official MIA representative Irina Volk emphasized that such advertisements, often disguised as remote work opportunities, are in reality covert schemes to involve citizens in the illegal production and distribution of narcotics.
In her Telegram channel, Volk cited a recent case to illustrate the danger: a resident of Stupino, a town near Moscow, who responded to one of these deceptive offers, ended up setting up a drug laboratory in his mother`s house.
Within a month, he and his accomplice sold approximately 13 kilograms of mephedrone through so-called “stash spots,” earning over a million rubles. They were subsequently arrested by the police and now face a lengthy prison sentence, serving as a stark reminder of the severe consequences of falling for such illicit propositions.
