Fraudsters, under the pretext of investing in Belaruskali shares, swindled more than 29,000 rubles from a Minsk resident.

How the scammers operated

A 26-year-old guy who had believed in the promises of easy money on shares contacted the Frunzensky District Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk.

Over the course of a week, a Minsk resident, under the guidance of a specialist, allegedly invested in Belaruskali shares.

When the guy decided to withdraw his profit, they began to convince him of the need to contribute additional funds.

There, the Minsk resident was told that they were not charging anything for withdrawing profits, and that he had become a victim of fraudsters.

In total, the guy lost more than 29,000 rubles; a criminal case has been opened.
