Mari Aid - Cellphone Discount Affair

Cellphone Discount Affair

In 2005, Mari Aid and Sulev Kits employed various people to buy discounted cellphones from cellphone operators and hand them over, promising to pay their subscription costs and instalment payments by themselves. However, they neglected those payments, leading to cellphone operators attempting to collect the debts according to the contracts, and in the process almost bankrupting an unemployed housewife who had bought 12 cellphones under the arrangement. Police began investigating the case under suspicion of fraud, but the case was closed when, during investigation, Aid and Kits paid the debts.
