When it comes to deceiving citizens, many situations come to mind, for example, "profitable investment projects", calls from pseudo-employees of mobile companies, or a relative who got into an accident. The list of such fraudulent schemes can be listed indefinitely, but the use of the authority of law enforcement agencies by malefactors is of particular concern. Unfortunately, scammers do not hesitate to pretend to be an investigator or a policeman in order to get hold of your money.

Such a story happened to a 62-year-old resident of the Frunze district, who in July of this year received a call from false law enforcement officers. The development of the legend began with a call from a bank employee who reported that an application for an impressive loan was sent using the woman's passport data. After a short conversation, the consultant "switched" the Minsk resident to the investigator and warned that no one should know about the events that were taking place.

In an interview with an alleged employee of the Investigative Committee, the pensioner learned that a criminal case had been opened against her, as she illegally opened bank accounts. In addition, the investigator said that a search should be conducted at the woman's place of residence.

The excited Minsk resident explained that she did not open any accounts, and keeps money at home all the time. From that moment on, the scam trap was successfully triggered. Further, "competent" specialists began to carefully find out how much savings the pensioner has. After receiving the information, the false employees explained that the savings must be declared. Why such a registration procedure is needed, the consultants explained simply – a woman will be cleared of all suspicion of conducting illegal financial transactions, and those who are really involved in the commission of a crime will be held accountable in accordance with the Law.

Being constantly in touch, the false health guards advised the pensioner to prepare all the savings for their trusted person. So that she does not worry ,the "investigator" will come to her home, give her a code word, confirm her identity, and then the Minsk resident can safely transfer the money to him. The woman was assured that the declaration procedure will take a little time and on the same day she will be able to collect her blood money. A few hours later, the victim handed over the money to the courier who arrived.

At the appointed time, the Minsk resident went to collect her savings, but at the place of arrival, she was completely disappointed. It turned out that in the specified building work people who have nothing to do with the protection and protection of law and order. Putting all the details together, the woman realized that she was deceived by scammers.

During interrogations, the pensioner told the investigator that the calls were received exclusively from foreign numbers. She did not betray the significance of this nuance, since she sincerely believed that she was talking to real representatives of law enforcement agencies.

Thus, the conversation with the "guardians of the Law" cost a resident of the capital more than 45 thousand rubles.

The Frunzensky (Minsk) district Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Currently, investigative actions and operational-search measures are being carried out aimed at identifying the perpetrators of this crime.

The criminal investigation continues.
