A resident of the capital, who was deceived by a cryptocurrency swindler, turned to the police. At the end of August, in the thematic group of the messenger, the girl wrote a message asking for recommendations on how to replenish a crypto wallet without a commission. One of the users answered her and promised to help her invest profitably.
On the recommendation of the Minsk resident, she installed an application from one of the trading platforms on her smartphone and transferred all her virtual savings there. Then the scammer convinced the girl to go to a phishing page, where she entered all the data, including the Seed phrase (used to restore access to the crypto wallet).
After that, the attacker stole over Br35 thousand in equivalent.
The Minsk resident realized that she had become a victim of fraudsters when she unsuccessfully tried to withdraw money to the card. The scammer suggested that she contact the technical support service (in fact, a phishing page). Pseudo-specialists promised to help on the condition of replenishing the account with an equivalent amount. She did not believe it and turned to the police.
Investigators opened a criminal case for theft of property by modifying computer information.
