MOSCOW, July 23 - RIA Novosti. Frauds that
made a living by tricking collectors of paintings and
antiques, detained in Moscow
......
All those who have suffered in similar situations on the actions of these individuals, the police, please call: 694-8662, 694-8673.

   Scammers often occupy specialized Internet sites. They pose as the solution to all sorts of problems. For example, the client makes a request. Pseudo-agents literally bury it under a pile of their messages clones. Characteristically, these pseudo-agents do not know the legislation, especially tax.
      So one false agent seriously maintained that the contract for 11 months do not pay income tax, only starting at 12 months. Or do not pay tax on sales of paintings up to 250 000 of income.
  You have to start with a check of the legal entity, which is the agent.
The agent can not conduct self-employed, or his property will be responsible for legal claims. Or its agency transactions should be insured.
Legal entity (company) must be registered in Incorporation. A legal entity is responsible only to their property. Liability company does not extend to its employees. By a company registered in the Unified State Register - the unified state register of legal entities has TIN. Tax is tied to the region and the tax office.
       In my practice crooks from Nizhny Novgorod is firm registered in St. Petersburg.
 I usually check, registration of companies by:
http://www.kartoteka.ru/

 Emphasize that firms have websites must also must be registered in the Unified State Register.
  For the artists are encouraged to enter, especially foreign trade, consignment contract:

 when the firm by the artist makes or sale, or shall return the artwork. Before the sale of the owner is an artist.

If there was a criminal case, it makes sense to turn to the tax authorities:
http://nalog.ru/

The screen on the right, with the edge in the middle of a button:
"Apply to the Federal Tax Service of Russia"

Helps. But we must have proof of a criminal case. For example, in the case of
N. Novgorod was enough
- Firm to the price list of services;
- Checks on Tax Entities which revealed the registration of the company in St. Petersburg Nizhny Novgorod;
- Lack of home deployment firms listed on the website of the company on an electronic map.
Work for 2-3 hours on the Internet.
