A Minsk resident became a victim of fraudsters who offered her to invest in Gazprom. BelTA learned this from the police department of the Minsk City Executive Committee.
A resident of the Oktyabrsky district of the capital found an advertisement for profitable investment projects of Gazprom on the Internet. The Minsk resident left a request, and soon the curator contacted her. Following his instructions, the woman registered an account on the Internet platform and regularly replenished the balance.
Soon, the curator said that the amount of money invested by the Minsk resident had significantly increased and the applicant's e-wallet balance contained $20 thousand. To cash them out, a woman needs to pay a tax, as well as make additional contributions for the services provided. The resident of the capital agreed and transferred money for two weeks under the guidance of a "specialist".
Only after communicating with her daughter, the Minsk resident realized that she was being deceived, and turned to the police. The total amount of damage was about Br60 thousand.
Investigators opened a criminal case on the fact of fraud.

A resident of Borisov became a victim of fraudsters and lost her money, believing in the opportunity to earn money by betting in an online casino. The victim initially played at someone else's expense. BelTA learned this from the police department of the Minsk Regional Executive Committee.
28-year-old resident of Borisov on one of the Internet resources found an ad about earnings on the Internet. The offer interested the girl, and she began to correspond with a potential "employer". The essence of earning money was playing in an online casino.
The victim decided to try her luck playing in a casino with the money that a stranger kindly "provided" her. First, the Borisov resident passed a training session and only then entered the game. Subsequently, however, the victim was not able to withdraw virtual money.
In response to the failure, the attackers offered the Borisov resident to try her luck again, but this time with an investment of their own funds. The Borisov resident used a third-party application that scammers advised her to install to top up her online casino balance and transfer money to the provided e-wallet.
On this fact, the district Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code.
