There are frequent cases of fraud associated with loans from individuals.

Step 1
If you are faced with a demand for a bribe from officials, law enforcement agencies, education or health officials, it is best to deal with such a situation in a legal way. It is pointless to argue with the extortionist and demand from him a legal solution to the issue. It is necessary to agree to the payment, but postpone it, stipulate the details: the amount, place and time of transfer of funds, and with this information go to the prosecutor's office. Upon submission of the application, a proceeding will be conducted, the transfer of bills marked in a special way and, as a result, legal punishment for the extortionist.
Step 2
If the amount is small, and you do not consider it necessary to prosecute the extortionist (this is often the case when it comes to teachers or doctors), you can report the fact to a superior manager. In large enterprises and commercial companies, there is a security service that, as a rule, responds instantly to such messages.
Step 3
One of the popular modern methods of extortion - rigged accidents, false calls, staged situations - all this is in a rich arsenal of scammers whose main task is to make you lose control, to commit rash actions that will lead to the fact that you will give whatever they ask. The only correct decision in this situation is to remain calm and strictly follow elementary logic and the letter of the law.
Step 4
In the event of a rigged accident, in no case leave the scene of the accident, whatever the fraudsters suggest to you, call the traffic police and the insurance company, do not succumb to threats and persuasions. As soon as law enforcement agencies appear at the scene, the incident will be settled.
Step 5
When you receive a call from a “close relative” demanding a large amount of money, make sure that this person is calling - ask questions that no one else can answer, make a call back. If the demands from the ransomware do not stop without wasting time, file a report with the police. Remember that extortion is a criminal article (Article 163 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Step 6
If the extortion is connected with blackmail, the police may become the only way to influence the fraudster. Statements without obvious evidence, as a rule, are reluctant to be accepted by law enforcement officials, insist on your rights. Alternatively, you can send the application by registered mail with notification, as well as duplicate it to the district prosecutor's office. In this case, your appeal will definitely not remain unattended.
Step 7
When applying for a loan to a private person, insure yourself against fraudsters and extortionists, apply for a loan in documents, and after paying it off, take a receipt for the receipt of funds. Otherwise, you run the risk of repaying money repeatedly. If you did not take care of receiving a receipt and faced extortion, find an opportunity to record the extortionist's demands - a dictaphone, a camera, any recording medium will become a good reason to contact the prosecutor's office and solve your problem promptly and in accordance with the letter of the law. By the way, in this case, the court can also be useful: write a statement of claim with a request to recognize the extortionist's demands as illegal, present in the process all possible evidence that you paid off the debt. A court decision in your favor will become a reliable defense against an unscrupulous partner.
