Minsk resident invested in a fake company for four months and lost 65,000 rubles
Fraudsters, under the pretext of investing, lured 65,000 rubles from a Minsk resident.
The press service of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee reported this on Telegram.
How the scammers operated
A woman who became a victim of fraud contacted the Moscow District Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk.
The applicant saw an advertisement for profitable investment projects under the Belaruskali brand on one of the Internet platforms.
Not convinced of the veracity of the advertisement, the Minsk resident invested $100 at the first stage.
Over the next four months, the capital resident continued to top up the fake account in the hope of making a profit.
Noticing suspicious activity, the bank froze the woman's large payment.
A Minsk resident contacted the support service and realized that she had become a victim of fraud.
In total, she lost 65,000 rubles, and a criminal case has been opened.
The Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee reminds: you should not believe promises of easy money on the Internet.
