A Minsk resident contacted the capital’s Pervomaisky district police department, who, having believed the promises of quick money on the Internet, was left without money, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.

In addition, she took out a loan from a bank, borrowed some money from friends and pawned the car. The scammers gave her the opportunity to earn $50.
“It is unknown how long this story would have lasted and how much more money the scammers would have swindled out of the woman if she had not told everything to her son.
