Fraudsters in the Postavy district, pretending to be law enforcement officers, forced the woman to transfer all their savings to them. BelTA learned this from the USC for the Vitebsk region.
The fraudsters processed the local resident for a week. They presented themselves as law enforcement officers, intimidated them into opening a criminal case, and forced them to sign a non-disclosure agreement. And all this until they were stripped to the skin.
At the end of June of this year, a 54-year-old resident of the Postavy district received a call on her mobile phone from a man who introduced himself as a mobile operator. He offered to sign an additional contract with the company and sent a link to the program.
As soon as the woman installed the app on her phone, people began to call her, posing as law enforcement officers. Scammers made up a story. Allegedly, money is being transferred from the victim's account to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and a criminal case will be opened against her, and they will also conduct a search to seize all her savings. After hearing this, the woman was in a state of stress. Callers continued to escalate the situation. They pointed out the need to verify the authenticity of the money in her possession. Thus, on the morning of July 1, a trusting woman handed over $21 thousand to a fraudster's courier.
However, the criminals did not stop there. When they found out that their victim still had savings, they pointed out the need to put them in the account. And then, having access to her phone thanks to the previously installed application, they stole the remaining money.
The victim wanted to inform her husband about what was happening, but the responsibility of "signing a non-disclosure agreement"was pressing on her. When the woman still had to confess to her husband, he turned to law enforcement agencies.
The investigator examined the victim's mobile phone. During the interrogation, the woman said that she knew about the scammers, but they communicated with her in such a way that there was not even time to calm down and think about their actions.
The Postavsky District Department of the Investigative Committee initiated criminal cases under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale) and Part 2 of Article 212 (theft of property by modifying computer information committed by a group of persons by prior agreement) of the Criminal Code. The criminal investigation continues.
