Anti-cybercrime operatives of the Pervomaisky District Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk detained a 43-year-old unemployed Minsk resident for illegal circulation of means of payment. BELTA was informed about this by the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Minsk City Executive Committee.
It was established that the man met young people in the courtyard of the house who offered him to earn money. The Minsk resident agreed and issued a virtual bank card in his name, as well as 10 SIM cards, which he gave to strangers for a reward of Br23.
A criminal case has been initiated against the man for illegal circulation of means of payment. He faces up to 6 years in prison.
*****
A resident of the area contacted the Frunzensky District Department of Internal Affairs, who became a victim of scammers. A false broker and a fraudulent lawyer from the Internet defrauded a Minsk woman of more than Br45 thousand. BELTA was informed about this by the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Minsk City Executive Committee.
The victim said that she found an investment advertisement on the Internet and decided to start trading. A consultant contacted the woman, following whose advice, the Minsk resident lost Br27 thousand.
Then the applicant decided to get her money back and for this she turned to a lawyer, whose contacts she also found on the Internet. The victim was contacted via messenger and informed that the broker-swindler had opened a loan in her name. To repay the loan, the Minsk resident, according to the false lawyer, had to register on the exchange, purchase digital currency and transfer it to the provided crypto wallets. The Minsk resident followed the instructions, purchased and transferred cryptocurrency in the amount of more than Br18 thousand. The woman soon realized that she had twice become a victim of scammers.
Employees of the OPK of the Frunzensky District Department of Internal Affairs conducted an inspection, and criminal cases were initiated on the facts of fraud.
