Young Man Transported 10 Thousand Dollars of a Pensioner Abroad and Hid Them Under a Tree. Received 100 Rubles 'for Lunch'
A 20-year-old gas station attendant in the capital became a courier for fraudsters.
It all started with a message in a messenger.
An unknown person introduced themselves as a Belpochta (Belarusian Post) employee and said that a registered letter from the Ministry of Education had arrived, and to receive it, one needed to provide a six-digit code that had been sent to the email. The young man did so.
Immediately after this, he received a video call, and they began to convince him that fraudsters were already using these data to transfer money to foreign accounts in his name. Fearing criminal liability, the young man agreed to perform 'confidential tasks' to prove his innocence.
He was asked to meet an elderly woman, take a package of money from her, and transport the money abroad.
The young man was told that the pensioner herself had become a victim of fraudsters and a loan had been taken out in her name, and he was helping to save her.
The young man did everything he was told: he took more than 10 thousand dollars from the woman, drove them abroad, and hid them under a tree in the designated location.
For his work, he received about 100 rubles 'for lunch' from the 'curator' and an order to return to Minsk.
Then he was detained.
The police are conducting an investigation.
