Fraudsters, under the pretext of investing in Belaruskali shares, swindled more than 29,000 rubles from a Minsk resident.
This was reported by the capital's police telegram channel.
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.
As a result, the young man contacted the investment platform's support service.
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.
