According to the Investigative Committee, on the afternoon of December 12, unknown persons called a pensioner, introducing themselves as "Belposhta" employees. They reported an alleged letter from the tax inspectorate and, under this pretext, tricked the man into giving them an SMS code.
Later, a person who identified himself as a bank employee contacted him. He assured that the pensioner had already become a victim of fraudsters and, without knowing it, was allegedly involved in financing terrorism. Another swindler then joined the conversation — a "representative of the National Bank," who began to threaten criminal liability and imprisonment.
The situation was further exacerbated by a call from a person who identified himself as an employee of the KGB. He threatened eviction from the apartment and the possible processing of a loan in the victim's name. To avoid problems, the couple was offered to urgently "declare" all their cash.
On the evening of the same day, the elderly couple handed over all their savings to the so-called "collector." They were given no documents, with the explanation that the National Bank does not issue such certificates.
As a result, the fraudsters received a large sum: US dollars, Belarusian and Russian rubles, and euros — a total of almost 55 thousand rubles in conversion. The very next day, the criminals stopped responding to calls.
Later, the "collectors" were identified and detained. They turned out to be citizens of a neighboring country who had regularly visited Belarus since last autumn, allegedly for work. The investigation revealed that they had collected money from victims of online fraudsters at least several times.
During interrogations, the detainees admitted that they were following the instructions of curators, receiving tasks via messengers. For disguise, they rented accommodation for a short time and traveled around the country by car.
Investigators believe that these individuals are only part of a larger criminal network involved in legalizing stolen money. The search for the organizers of the scheme and its other participants is currently underway.
