Minsk Resident Twice Handed Money to Fake 'Belpochta' Couriers

A 42-year-old woman received a message in a messenger app, allegedly from 'Belpochta' employees, informing her about a received parcel.

The interlocutors stated that the storage period for the shipment had expired and it would soon be returned to the sender. However, a 'solution' was quickly found: to receive the parcel, one only needed to provide a code from an SMS message, reports 'Minsk Police'.

Soon after, the woman received calls, this time from individuals claiming to be police officers and National Bank employees. Under the fabricated pretext of protecting her accounts from hacking and participating in a 'special operation,' she was convinced of the necessity to hand over her savings for 'examination' — supposedly to verify banknote serial numbers and confirm the legality of her income. The woman was threatened with criminal liability for disclosing information.

Acting under pressure, the Minsk resident met with two couriers: she handed 8,000 rubles to the first, and 11,000 dollars to the second. Only later did the woman realize she had become a victim of fraud and contacted the 102 helpline.

    Хто гэтыя людзі, які змаглі адкласьці добрыя, бывае, вельмі добрыя, грошы, і так лёгка зь імі разьвіталіся. 42 гады, ну не павінна дурніцай быць, не аддала Нацбанку.
