86‑year-old man took 250 thousand rubles from a Minsk resident deceived by fraudsters
First, the Minsk resident received a call allegedly from a polyclinic, and during the conversation, they asked her for her medical insurance number.
Then fake law enforcement officers threatened her with criminal liability and convinced her to "declare" her savings. As a result, the 31-year-old woman handed over 250 thousand rubles, received the day before from the sale of an apartment, to a courier, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs press service.
The courier turned out to be an 86-year-old pensioner, also deceived by fraudsters. First, he gave the fraudsters more than 20 thousand rubles, and then began collecting money from other victims.
The elderly man was forbidden to tell anyone about his "participation in a special operation," so he stopped answering even his daughter's calls. It was she who contacted the police.
When operatives contacted the man, he was traveling to Brest on another assignment from his curator. Then they explained to him what was actually happening.
