A resident of Oshmyany provided a service in catching scammers, but in the end was forced to part with almost 12 thousand rubles.
On November 4, he received a call via messenger from an unknown person who introduced himself as a law enforcement officer.
The Grodno City Executive Committee Department of Internal Affairs reports how this story ended.
The victim received a call via the Telegram messenger from an unknown person who introduced himself as a law enforcement officer.
The stranger asked for assistance in catching the scammers.
Soon the victim was convinced to take out a quick loan for 8,300 Belarusian rubles.
Oshmyanets did as he was asked and soon the money was transferred to a special account.
Soon the phone rang again and the “law enforcement officers” asked the man to help again, which required taking out a loan for 3,600 Belarusian rubles.
The money was sent to the same account.
After that, the calls stopped and no one got in touch.
Only after this did the man realize that he had become a victim of fraud and turned to the police department for help.
The Oshmyany District Department of the Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case on this fact.
