Employees of the Department for Combating Cybercrime of the Sovetsky District Police Department of Minsk, with the support of the OMON of the Main Police Department, uncovered an online fraud scheme organized by a 32-year-old Minsk resident.
At the first stage, the man illegally acquired bank card details that were stolen from residents of European and African countries. Then he used their data to pay for goods in Belarusian online hypermarkets, where he created personal accounts under fictitious names and specified phone numbers purchased from drops. With the help of third parties, the man picked up goods at pick-up points and resold them at a price lower than the market price, and spent the proceeds on personal needs. In total, he illegally purchased expensive smartphones, a laptop, headphones and other equipment worth more than 50 thousand rubles.
In some cases, it was not possible to steal money due to the fact that the owners used 3D-Secure security technology, designed to protect online payments. In other cases, one card was used for placing one order, after which they got rid of it, hoping thereby not to attract the attention of the owner of the BOD and law enforcement officers.
Criminal cases have been initiated on all the facts, and third parties are being checked for involvement in this series of crimes.
