The Pervomaisky (Minsk) district department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on the fact of another fraud on the Internet.
At the end of June 2023, a 36-year-old Minsk resident saw an advertisement on Instagram about the development of projects of the Public Joint Stock Company Gazprom. Citizens were offered a passive, but very profitable income-to invest in the largest Russian multinational energy company. The man became interested in the ad and filled out the application.
On the same day, an employee of a specialized department allegedly contacted him, told him all the nuances and immediately offered to top up the virtual account for 150 US dollars. Following the instructions of the "consultant", a resident of the capital registered an account on the Internet platform and replenished the balance.
Scammers skillfully created the appearance of trading: a schedule of actions was displayed in the personal account, the victim was regularly called and agreed to conduct transactions, and of course all investment activities were accompanied by highly qualified advice. The man blindly believed and again and again replenished the virtual account.
In July 2023, fraudsters prepared a special personal contract for the Minsk resident. To take advantage of the offer, you just need to top up your account with another 45 thousand US dollars. Given that the income in the personal account was constantly increasing, the resident of the capital, without hesitation, fulfilled the requirement of "experienced traders".
When there were already more than 134 thousand US dollars on the balance sheet, the man decided to cash out what he earned. But, as it should be in such cases, business analysts began to argue that it is necessary to make mandatory payments.
The man refused. It was at that moment that the victim realized that he had been deceived and turned to the police. Thus, from June to July of last year, unknown persons seized his funds for a total amount of more than 189 thousand rubles.
A criminal case was opened on this fact under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
The criminal investigation continues. Investigators, together with employees of the internal affairs bodies, identify the persons involved in the commission of the crime.
