According to the investigation, at the end of September, a 70-year-old resident of Grodno called a “representative of the social service” in the messenger and asked to dictate the data of her insurance certificate. Immediately after the conversation entered the pseudo-employees of law enforcement agencies and the National Bank.

The attackers intimidated the woman with criminal liability for using her bank account to finance criminal activities and convinced her of the need to “declar” all available savings.

The pensioner collected more than 54 thousand rubles at the place of residence, packed in a package and took a taxi to Grodno district, where she had to leave money in the agreed place.

The scammers failed to bring the criminal intent to the end - the victim doubted the reality of what was happening and called the number 102, thanks to which all the money was saved.

The Grodno Interdistrict Department of the Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under Part 1 of Article 14 and Part 4 of Article 209 (attempted fraud committed on an especially large scale) of the Criminal Code.
