A resident of the Brest region became a victim of false brokers, having transferred more than Br92 thousand to their accounts, writes BELTA with reference to the official representative of the USC for the Brest region, Roman Zarmaev.
To make extra money on the stock exchange, a 59-year-old woman registered on one of the sites. Ostensibly representatives of the auction organizer entered into correspondence with her. At their direction, over the course of a month she deposited money to play on the stock exchange. The pensioner had money from the sale of her apartment. In addition, she took out a loan from a bank, borrowed some money from friends and pawned the car. The scammers gave her the opportunity to earn only $50.
The son of a pensioner intervened in this story in time. He suspected something was wrong. Meanwhile, having defrauded a large sum, the false brokers stopped communicating. After this, the victim contacted the police.
The materials were transferred to the Investigative Committee. A criminal case has been opened.
