The Zavodsky (Minsk) district department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on embezzlement of property by modifying computer information.
According to the investigation, in January of this year, a 69-year-old man received a call in the messenger. The caller introduced himself as an employee of the State Security Committee and said that during the night unknown persons, using the data of a Minsk resident, transferred funds to the accounts of banned organizations. In this regard, a criminal case has been initiated and it is necessary to assist the investigation in exposing the criminals.
The pensioner was not one of the timid ten. He had previously repeatedly read news about scammers and immediately tried to stop the conversation, but the false security guard was persistent. The swindler began to send the man photos of various documents, including the decision to initiate criminal proceedings, and named some of his personal data. The lie bribed the pensioner, and he decided to "cooperate".
A pseudo-KGB employee allegedly offered to "declare" all the cash available at the man's home for safekeeping. The victim counted more than 43 thousand US dollars and 6 thousand euros, as reported to the interlocutor.
Then, at the direction of the caller, the Minsk resident went to a certain bank branch, opened two accounts and replenished them. A few minutes later, the phone rang again – the scammers were monitoring his every move. This time, they asked the man to install a remote access app on his mobile phone and pass them the login details. The pensioner, without going into details, did this as well.
Thanks to the specialized program malefactors found on the card account in other bank at the man still 19 thousand rubles. The false security guard convinced him to immediately go to the nearest information kiosk and transfer funds to a regular mobile number. At the same time, he said that everything is being done for the good and despite the fact that it is already late in the evening and the working day is over, the "guardians of the Law" are still trying to help.
It is worth noting that the scammers were constantly in touch with the Minsk resident and repeatedly called him back from different numbers. When the conversations finally ended, the victim found a lot of SMS messages from banks about debiting funds.
In just one day, unknown people managed to "earn" more than 160 thousand rubles on the credulity of the Belarusian.
A criminal case was opened on this fact under Part 4 of Article 212 (theft by modification of computer information, committed on a particularly large scale). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Investigators, in cooperation with police officers, identify the persons involved in the commission of the crime.
A 69-year-old local resident, who was the victim of a false broker, turned to the Bobruisk City Executive Committee's internal Affairs department. An attempt to make money on the stock exchange turned into debts for the man, BelTA learned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In a social network, the victim responded to an advertisement for a cryptocurrency exchange. Soon he was contacted by an unknown person with an offer of services for profitable support of transactions. He convinced the pensioner to install a remote access program on his smartphone, and then transfer about Br300 to the specified account. The attacker explained that the money "works", makes a profit, but more investments are needed.
At the direction of the man, the Bobruisk resident continued to transfer funds, for which he took large sums from friends and issued loans in the bank. Within a month, the attacker sent screenshots of the account, where allegedly there was $25 thousand. When the victim's daughter found out about what was happening, she convinced her father to contact the police. In total, the pensioner lost about Br35 thousand. Investigators opened a criminal case for fraud.
A 45-year-old resident of Krichev turned to the police, who lost a large sum. The victim wanted to make money on the stock exchange, but in the end was twice deceived by scammers, BelTA learned from the Department of Internal Affairs of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee.
The victim left a request with his data under an advertisement about earnings on the stock exchange on one of the sites. Soon, an alleged expert contacted him and offered to help him conduct the first transactions. The unknown person helped the applicant register on the site and pay the first installment, and then withdraw the trial amount from circulation.
Subsequently, the resident of Krichev continued to "increase" his income independently, while crediting all his savings to the exchange platform, and then issuing loans for himself and a neighbor. The victim planned to receive the money and repay the debts, but he could not withdraw the funds himself.
Then in social networks, the victim of scammers found an intermediary company, whose "specialist" said that he was deceived, but they managed to find part of his money. To get them back, you need to open a wallet on a virtual platform and buy cryptocurrency, which the man did. Only after a while did he realize that he had been deceived.
In total, a resident of Krichev lost Br37,8 thousand. Investigators have opened a criminal case for large-scale fraud.
