A resident of Mozyr found an advertisement in which investors were promised easy money on the stock exchange and a guaranteed income even with a minimum contribution.
This arrangement significantly reduced the likelihood of becoming a victim of fraud, but only at first glance.
A Mozyr resident unsuccessfully invested 9 thousand rubles, believing the promises of false brokers, the Gomel Regional Executive Committee Department of Internal Affairs reports .
In one of the popular messengers, he noticed an advert in which every Belarusian was promised easy money in the amount of 3.5 thousand roubles.
A 26-year-old investor responded to an ad, after which an unknown girl contacted him.
A correspondence ensued, in which the Mozyr resident was explained in a popular manner that by trading on the stock exchange, he could instantly increase his savings.
All you need to do is transfer 300 Belarusian rubles to the specified account.
The first good news was not long in coming.
The young man was informed that his income was already 5 thousand Belarusian rubles.
There was one small "but": to withdraw funds, you had to constantly top up your account. Accordingly, the income of a novice investor increased proportionally.
Soon the young man ran out of money and shared his simple scheme for getting rich with his friend, adding that he only had a little money left to put into the account.
Being vigilant, the friend reminded me about online fraud and suggested contacting the police.
As a result, trading on the stock exchange for one week cost the Mozyr resident 9 thousand rubles.
