Minsk resident handed over savings to phone scammers, took out two loans, and made two courier trips
It all started traditionally. A 63-year-old resident of the capital received a call, allegedly from "Energozbyt," and was asked to provide a code from an SMS, reports "Minsk Police."
Initially, the man thought he was being deceived. But a second call, on behalf of the State Control Committee, convinced the man that the funds absolutely had to be declared.
Next, the Minsk resident was explained that fraudsters had taken out loans in his name. To cancel them, he needed to take out "mirror" loans and return the money to the bank via freelance couriers. The man left all the cash he received in the places indicated by the curator.
Then he made two courier trips — he collected money from a deceived Minsk woman and, on a similar assignment, visited Vitebsk. The man also hid the received funds in caches for subsequent couriers.
