Cyber scammers, under the pretext of making money on shares, lured almost 25,000 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 man who became a victim of cyber fraud and lost almost 25,000 rubles contacted the Moscow District Department of Internal Affairs of Minsk.
A Minsk resident saw an ad in a messenger about quick and easy money. After clicking on the link, the man filled out a form, left his details and phone number.
Subsequently, unknown people contacted him and offered to make money by buying and selling shares.
On the advice of a “financial analyst,” the Minsk resident registered an account and opened a bank account, which he replenished more than 15 times in two months.
When the man decided to withdraw his profits, the “analyst” stopped communicating.
A criminal case of fraud has been opened on this fact.
The Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee reminds: do not believe promises of easy money on the Internet.
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.
