Grandma from Minsk talked to another grandma about mimosa — and lost over 10 thousand rubles
It all started as usual. Scammers called an 88-year-old woman and introduced themselves as employees of "Energozsbyt" (Energy Sales).
They offered the Minsk resident to replace the meters in her apartment, and to conclude the agreement, they asked for her passport details, writes "Militia Minsk".
After that, a fake law enforcement officer called the Minsk resident's mobile phone and reported that the pensioner had previously spoken with scammers and that illegal financial operations were being carried out on her behalf.
To avoid criminal liability, the woman agreed to cooperate. She collected her savings (9400 rubles and two thousand dollars) and gave the money to another pensioner, whom she believed to be a courier for the National Bank. She told her the code word "mimosa".
Detectives from the Frunzensky District Department of Internal Affairs identified the courier — a 71-year-old pensioner, who also became a victim of scammers and managed to pass the money further down the chain.
