Minsk schoolgirl together with scammers conducted an online search in the apartment and gave them parental savings

The mother of a 12-year-old schoolgirl, who became a victim of fraudsters, appealed to the Frunze police department. This was reported in the press service of the Mingory Executive Committee, writes sb.by.

The department noted:

In the messenger, the girl met a peer who, after a short correspondence, sent her a video message with drones and assured her that they would soon fly to Minsk. At the same time, a seventh-grader received a call from an unknown person who introduced himself as a civil servant and ordered her to immediately stop communicating.”.

Further, the girl was contacted by a false investigator and reported that she was a suspect in a criminal case for aiding in terrorism. The schoolgirl was forbidden to tell anyone about what was happening, as the investigation is underway, and all information is secret. The minor was warned if she does not comply with the demands of the callers, the parents face punishment: from 20 years in prison to the death penalty, and she will be sent to a children's colony.

The schoolgirl was in touch with the scammers for five days, with a break for the weekends she spent with her parents. After she was contacted allegedly by representatives of the tax office, who reported the need to declare their savings. To do this, they forced a young Minsk woman to conduct an online search to avoid the real one. The girl found only 600, which she put in an envelope, drew a flower on it at the behest of the callers and handed over to the courier - a 14-year-old student of the capital's gymnasium, who became a victim of deception according to a similar scheme.

The minor said that police officers repeatedly held preventive meetings at the school and told about such schemes of deception. However, when this happened to her, she was confused.

A criminal case has been opened on this fact. Other participants in the criminal scheme are identified.

As part of the fight against fraudsters, Belarusian law enforcement officers suspended spending operations on 23 accounts
