Fraud on dating sites is a real criminal business. New women's profiles are registered almost daily. Scammers immediately take them into circulation and "breed" them for money. And their choice is not random. Most often, they write to newcomers, as they have not encountered negative emotions in international dating.
Thus, the Vitebsk City Department of the Investigative Committee establishes the circumstances of fraud committed on a particularly large scale.
According to the investigation, a 46-year-old resident of Vitebsk on a dating site began to communicate with a man who introduced himself as a native of Great Britain serving in Syria. The foreigner said that he was participating in military operations, after which he promised to visit the woman in Belarus. The conversation lasted three months. When the "military man" won over the victim, he immediately began to take advantage of her credulity. So, already in February of this year, he asked to send a home address to which he would send a parcel with his awards, orders and documents. As soon as his request was fulfilled, a resident of the regional center began to receive messages from the "transport company" about the need to pay for the delivery of the parcel. Thus, in a couple of weeks, the victim transferred more than 30 thousand US dollars to the attackers.
When the woman was once again written about the need to transfer another considerable amount of money, and by this time she had no savings left and debts to relatives appeared, she realized that she had become a victim of intruders and turned to law enforcement agencies.
Investigators questioned the victim and examined her mobile phone. Correspondence with fraudsters is attached to the criminal case.
Vitebsk City Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale) Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus.
