Unfortunately, fraudsters are still actively operating in Belarus, deceiving citizens both through new clever schemes and using tried and tested methods.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic named the TOP tricks of scammers in its official Telegram channel, some of which you may not even suspect.
The agency notes that most often, criminals “steal” money from their victims under the pretext of a loan.
Construction tools and loans
They also often take possession of other people’s finances by using the supposed need to perform repairs (or other similar work or services) to deceive.
In addition, fraud is associated with the rental of construction tools.
Fraudsters often use deception to obtain loans or installment plans for individuals related to the purchase of various goods.
Trusting people are asked to register the purchase in their own name, promising a reward.
The goods are asked to be transferred to the one who promises to pay the payments on time.
But as soon as the scammers receive an expensive item, they “forget” about the agreement.
Warning
It is important to remember that those who have taken out a loan or installment plan, having provided their passport data, are personally responsible for repaying the debt.
If you are asked under any pretext to register goods with deferred payments in your name, most likely scammers are trying to deceive you, law enforcement officers warn.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs calls on elderly relatives to be constantly reminded of the various tricks of fraudsters and the risks associated with them.
And given that villains also involve minors in criminal business, parents are advised to warn children against the desire to earn extra money in such an easy but illegal way.
