A 13-year-old teenager initially became a victim of the scammers.
The teenager was contacted on social media by someone posing as a girl who offered friendship and asked for the geolocation of his school.
Having received the data, the scammers began texting and calling the seventh-grader, introducing themselves as employees of the Investigative Committee (SK) and the KGB.
They changed their number using IP telephony and, for credibility, suggested verifying its affiliation with law enforcement agencies through an internet search, according to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD).
The child was frightened with criminal liability for transferring data, then via video call, they demanded to find parental savings in the apartment and transfer them "to the National Bank for verification".
The courier turned out to be a 12-year-old Minsk resident, who was also deceived using a similar scheme.
She took 25,000 rubles from the schoolboy, then a stash of 30,000 rubles left by a first-year student of a capital college, added 4,500 US dollars of parental money, and hid everything in a secret place for the next intermediary.
