The Zavodsky (Minsk) district department of the Investigative Committee establishes the circumstances of fraud committed on an especially large scale.
According to the investigation, in July of this year, a colleague wrote to a 69-year-old Minsk resident on Telegram and said that an employee of the State Security Committee would contact him in the near future. The man had no reason to doubt the veracity of his friend's words, since they have long maintained a trusting relationship.
After a while, the expected call came to the messenger. Allegedly, the law enforcement officer explained that the man's unscrupulous colleagues distributed his personal data, which was used by fraudsters. Unknown persons took out loans and opened accounts, which is why the employees of the National Bank will have to deal with this situation.
Continuing to conduct a difficult conversation, another "competent" specialist called a resident of the capital, who introduced himself as a consultant of a credit and financial institution. The caller explained that in this case, you need to work in opposition to scammers - independently apply for as many loans as possible and prove your innocence in past transactions. The Minsk resident tried to take loans, but he was refused to provide funds. As it turned out, professional curators had a trump card for such force majeure situations.
The "KGB officer" again contacted his ward and said that the attackers went all-in - they put up for sale the apartment of a Minsk resident, so it was necessary to act decisively. The pseudo-consultant recommended immediately contacting a real estate company and selling the property himself. As for the cost, you need to focus on the "quick buyout" scheme, that is, declare the price of housing below the market price. With such wishes, the man turned to a real estate agency. However, the manager, having heard the client's demands, suspected his connection with fraudsters and demanded an explanation from the seller about the real reason for the sale of the living space.
The Minsk resident acted strictly according to the instructions of the curators: he explained that he was selling the apartment in connection with moving to another country. The specialist was not convinced, and the agent refused to deal with this transaction. After an unsuccessful attempt, the man turned to another agency, where the realtors turned out to be more accommodating - they did not go into details, but simply agreed to the terms of the client.
From the sale of the capital's real estate, the man earned only 25 thousand US dollars and did not worry about it at all. The Minsk resident was sure that as soon as the law enforcement officers caught the criminals, he would again become the rightful owner of the apartment. The ward transferred the proceeds to the accounts specified by the curators, after which he expected feedback from them. Only this transaction did not end there.
The false manager of the National Bank said that it is necessary to continue replenishing accounts to close all loans and credits issued to him by fraudsters. The man thought about it and decided to transfer his personal savings - more than 42 thousand dollars. As soon as he made the last transfer, the consultant stopped communicating.
The worried Minsk resident called the "KGB officer" to find out what was happening, but was shocked by what he heard - the bank employee had stolen all his money and to catch the thief he needed to continue transferring savings. Only the Minsk resident did not believe in this "legend", and pthat he had fallen into the trap of scammers.
During interrogation to the investigator, the victim said that many transactions were carried out by scammers, as he provided them with data to control a mobile phone through remote access. Because of such manipulations, more than 40 thousand rubles were additionally debited from the Minsk resident's account. In addition, he said that communication with a law enforcement officer instilled maximum confidence that everything that was happening was real - the stranger operated in a dialogue with the names and surnames of the man's close colleagues and the whole "performance" was played out in the format of a secret operation.
Thus, in just a few weeks, the Minsk resident transferred more than 249 thousand rubles to fraudsters.
The Zavodsky (Minsk) district department of the Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on an especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Currently, investigative actions and operational-search measures are being carried out to identify the persons who committed this crime.
The investigation of the criminal case continues.
