A driver from Chashniki paid almost 38 thousand rubles for a call from a “mobile operator”
A young man from Chashniki lost 37.6 thousand Belarusian rubles after a call from a “mobile operator”.
The callers introduced themselves as managers and offered the 24-year-old driver to change his tariff plan, to which he received a positive response.
The Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Department of Internal Affairs reports on yet another scam.
The man was not alarmed by the fact that the call was made via a messenger. The people talking to him were allegedly the managers of the telecom operator.
During the conversation, the future victim was offered to change the tariff, which required downloading and installing a certain application on their phone.
Next they asked me to fill out a form in which I had to provide my personal information.
Soon there was another call. The caller played the role of a "financial police" officer.
It turned out that a loan was issued in the man's name, but everything could still be fixed if he quickly took out several loans from different banks.
All funds were offered to be transferred to a special account, which the man did.
The man only realized that he had become a victim of fraud during a visit to the bank to receive the loan.
After reading a warning about the influence of fraudsters when applying for loans, he turned to the police for help.
For reference
Fraud is the theft of someone else's property or the acquisition of rights to someone else's property through deception or abuse of trust.
