The Glusk District Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on fraud on an especially large scale.
According to the investigation, in June of this year, a 61-year-old resident of Glusk received a phone call in a messenger. The caller introduced herself as an employee of a large exchange company. During the conversation, she offered the woman good earnings on the trading exchange. Understanding the interest of the latter, the girl recommended that the interlocutor follow the link and register. The woman followed all her instructions. On the site, there was a need to replenish the balance of the trading account, which she did, sending $100 to the mobile operator number provided to her. After depositing funds into the account, a consultant was assigned to her, allegedly controlling the movement of money on the deposit.
He told the interlocutor about good financial opportunities, but for this the client needed to deposit a large amount in order for the scheme to "work". The woman took a loan from the bank and transferred the money to the phone number provided by the curator.
The specialist of the exchange company actively cooperated with the woman: he called each other, consulted, provided various phone numbers linked to bank payment cards. In less than 3 months, the woman transferred about 1 million Russian rubles to them, replenishing her trade balance.
When the woman decided to withdraw the money earned on the exchange, the consultant replied that one of the foreign banks had frozen her account, considering the actions fraudulent. To unblock it, she again needed money, which she transferred to the provided account. After that, the specialist informed the client about the alleged check of her license to carry out trading activities. She sent money to the details provided by the consultant so that her account would not be frozen on the territory of a neighboring state. And so it went on until her husband became alarmed that the woman was transferring large sums of money and earning nothing. Together they turned to the local police department.
In the end, the family lost about 40 thousand Belarusian rubles. On this fact, the Glusk District Department of the Investigative Committee initiated under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud on an especially large scale) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Currently, a set of investigative actions and operational-search measures is being carried out to identify the persons who committed this crime.
