Pensioner believed in a non-existent deposit and transferred all her savings to fraudsters
A 72-year-old Minsk resident received a call on a messenger app from alleged bank employees who informed her that a deposit of 44,000 rubles had been opened in her name.

When the pensioner objected that she had not opened any such documents, they sent her a photograph of a bank statement, reports "Minsk Police".
Subsequently, the false law enforcement officers convinced the Minsk resident that fraudsters had obtained her personal data and were conducting illegal financial operations in her name.
Following the instructions of the fraudsters, the pensioner withdrew 12,000 rubles from her personal account and transferred them 7 times via a terminal to "special accounts."
Only upon returning home did the woman realize she had been deceived and reported it to the police.
The victim admitted to the operatives that she knew about such fraud schemes, but got confused and believed the perpetrators.
