According to the investigation, in June of this year, a 63-year-old resident of the district in the social network Tik-Tok wrote a man. A pen pal claimed to be a doctor and currently works with the UN peacekeeping mission in Yemen, and offered to communicate via the Viber messenger. A new acquaintance shared details of his life, saying that one of his children and his wife died, the other son lives in Turkey.

For two months, the man gave the victim signs of attention, and after the communication became confidential, he said that he was going to quit, but they would not let him go just like that, it was necessary to pay compensation. He began to ask for help from the pensioner, as his card is blocked. At the same time, he asked for money in debt, said that he was very rich himself, and would immediately return everything.

The woman, believing in a beautiful story, in several stages transferred almost 10 thousand rubles to the card indicated by a new pen pal. These were her personal savings, as well as the amount from the sale of cattle that she raised herself. At the same time, a resident of the Mostovsky district was not confused by the fact that they communicated in Russian all the time.

When the doctor began to ask for new amounts, the victim explained that she no longer had any money. Suspecting something was wrong, the pensioner turned to the bank, as the card to which she transferred money was registered in a woman's name. After telling the bank about the incident, the woman explained that she was deceived by fraudsters. Only then did she realize that scammers were hiding behind the avatar of a man in a white coat, after which she turned to the police.

The Mostovsky district Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case on this fact under Part 3 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a large scale). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Currently, the victim has been interrogated, computer equipment has been examined, information about the card to which funds were transferred has been requested, a complex of investigative actions and operational search measures is being carried out aimed at identifying the person who committed this crime.
