Bujanovac – A businessman from Bujanovac could have ended up without 4,500 dinars after a letter he received from the "Digitalna platform doo” company.
The envelope contained a payment slip with the name of his company and the stated amount, in favor of the account of the company “Digitalna platforma doo” Belgrade and the purpose of payment "entry in the business register", with the accompanying text suggesting that it was a state institution.
The recipient is thus warned that if he/she fails to pay 4,500 by October 9, he/she will, thereafter, be obliged to pay 15,000 dinars.
“Fortunately, I looked up the information on the Internet and figured out that it was a scam. For that money, they offer the service of registering a company on their website, and also enable you to search for other companies, "says the interlocutor from the beginning of the story.
And the state Agency for Business Registers (ABR) also warned of the fraud:
“The recipients of these letters do not have any legal obligation to register on this portal, because it is an offer that has exclusively commercial purposes for advertising on behalf of the company “Digitalna platforma doo” Belgrade – New Belgrade, which was founded on February 14, 2020 and registered for market research and public opinion surveys", said the ABR.
Doubt regarding the content of the letter is caused by the strangeness that not only is it a private company that disguises itself as a state institution, but also that the ownership of the company is foreign.
The ABR register shows that the company was indeed registered on February 14 by a certain Kristina Knezevic from New Belgrade, to whose address the company was registered, and that on September 9, 100% of the ownership was transferred to a certain Kristijan Grubisic, a citizen of the Republic of Croatia.
On the same day, September 9, the domain of the website privredni-registar.rs was registered.
The businessman from Bujanovac says that some other Bujanovac residents received a payment slip from the fraudsters and he urged them not to pay the requested money.
