In May of this year, a 50-year-old resident of the capital decided to try his hand at virtual business. He registered on a crypto exchange and studied in detail how to make money in this area. In June, the man was attracted by an interesting offer on Instagram. He left a request and waited for feedback.
Soon, a representative of the platform wrote to the client in the messenger, who said that first you need to make a start-up capital. After this procedure, the Minsk resident was assigned a personal manager. "Trader" spoke in detail about the subtleties and nuances of trading, in addition, he also contributed money to the joint business.
A couple of days later, the partner offered the Minsk resident to withdraw a small amount won at the auction. The plausibility of the situation was played out, and money actually came to the man's card account. Such a gesture convinced him that it was possible to earn money online, and he fully trusted his consultant. The inexperienced investor agreed to the offer of the "manager" to invest in a supposedly large project for the purchase of gold. The Minsk resident took out several loans worth more than Br15 thousand and closely followed the development of the business.
According to the trader, the transaction was successful - the newly minted investor had more than $28 thousand on his balance sheet. The partner offered to withdraw most of the money to the man, but it was not easy to do this. First, the consultant said that you need to buy a license for legal withdrawal of funds, and then activate the bank card. In the end, it was not possible to conduct pseudo-operations, but they were not free in themselves. The next step was to pay for insurance, a power of attorney, and a declaration. The representative of the crypto exchange stubbornly insisted that this is a procedure that everyone goes through. The frustrated investor finally realized that in reality no one is trying to help him get the money he earned, and he is simply being deceived by scammers.
During the interrogation, the victim told the investigator that he fully trusted the false trader and provided his authentication data for debiting funds. He did not assume that he had contacted scammers, so he actively replenished his personal card account. The price of such trust is more than Br59 thousand.
The Pervomaisky (Minsk) district Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale) of the Criminal Code. Currently, investigative actions and operational search measures are being carried out aimed at identifying the perpetrators of this crime.
The criminal investigation continues.

Fraudsters stole Br15 thousand from a Minsk resident under the pretext of declaring savings and searching for a criminal.
A resident of the capital, who was deceived by scammers, turned to law enforcement officers for help.
In the messenger, an unknown person called the woman, who on behalf of the mobile operator reported that spam messages were being sent from her number. The caller offered to help stop it. The applicant agreed. According to the instructions, she installed an application that provided scammers with remote access to her phone.
"Then a false law enforcement officer contacted the Minsk resident. Under the pretext of conducting a search in the woman's apartment, the fraudster convinced her of the need to declare money stored at home.

The total amount of damage amounted to more than Br15 thousand.

Goretsky district Department of the Investigative Committee is investigating a criminal case on large-scale theft of property by modifying computer information. BelTA learned this from the Investigative Committee.
According to the investigation, in July, a 60-year-old resident of Gorki received a message in the messenger allegedly on behalf of the director of the institution where she has been working for more than 20 years. The pseudo-head said that an unscheduled ministerial audit is being conducted in the accounting department and the HR department. And she, as an employee of the institution, was included in the list of people being checked by a new supervisor from a higher organization. The woman did not doubt the truth of the situation for a moment. Believing the words of the false director, she began to perform the entire algorithm of actions received from him via SMS.
Then a "bank representative" got in touch with her, who helped the woman install a remote access application to her mobile phone. Then it came to the point that she began to receive video calls from representatives of the "competent services" involved in the "verification". The false employees of the ministry and the bank were so convincing that the woman followed all their recommendations and requirements.
To perform one of the operations, she needed to make a money transfer in the amount of Br30 thousand. ostensibly to check her checking account. She made several transfers to the provided accounts.
A week later, the victim still decided to find out how things were going with the ministerial audit, from the director of the institution personally. However, he assured the subordinate that no inspections were carried out by the branch ministry. At the same time, he could not write any messages to her in this messenger, since he did not even have it installed. The woman realized that she had fallen for the tricks of Internet scammers and turned to law enforcement agencies.
Goretsky district Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 3 of Article 212 (theft of property by modifying computer information, committed on a large scale) of the Criminal Code. Investigators, in cooperation with police officers, identify the persons involved in the commission of the crime.
