A 29-year-old resident of Baranavichy turned to the duty department of the Baranavichy city Executive Committee with a statement about misappropriation of funds. At the behest of scammers, in the hope of earning money, she invested over Br40 thousand in exchange transactions, but in the end lost everything invested, withdrawing only Br50. BelTA learned this from the Internal Affairs Department of the Brest Regional Executive Committee.
A resident of Baranovichi clicked on the link that broadcast information about the possibility of earning money, and filled out a questionnaire. After some time, she received a call in the messenger from a man who introduced himself as a financial specialist. It was he who advised the woman on registering a personal account on the platform. Further, the curator explained information about earnings from transactions, explaining that the income will grow depending on the growth of the exchange rate on the exchanges, and asked to top up the account.
Following the recommendations, the woman immediately deposited over Br3 thousand rubles to her e-wallet. After that, there were a few more investments. As a result, she transferred more than Br40 thousand rubles and believed that everything was legal and she would be able to get a large amount in the near future, but it turned out to withdraw only Br50. When once again she was unable to withdraw money, she turned to law enforcement officers for help.
Measures are being taken to identify the persons involved in the commission of this crime. A criminal case has been opened for fraud committed on a particularly large scale.

A Minsk resident applied to the Sovetsky district police department of the capital with a statement that he was deceived by scammers in a social network. Scammers first offered the victim to buy a driver's license on Instagram, and then, in order to extort as much money as possible from the Minsk resident, they "opened" a criminal case against him. BelTA learned this from the police department of the Minsk City Executive Committee.
The applicant said that he found an ad on Instagram in which unknown people offered to buy a driver's license. Account owners promised their clients guaranteed receipt of documents. The Minsk resident believed and made an advance payment of 30%. A few days later, he was sent a photo of a supposedly ready-made driver's license, after which the man transferred the remaining amount.
Soon, however, instead of issuing documents, the applicant was informed that a criminal case had been opened against him. To avoid liability, the scammers offered the man to pay. The Minsk resident realized that he had become a victim of fraudsters and turned to the police.
The total amount transferred to scammers was more than Br3. 6 thousand. A criminal case has been opened for fraud.
