In today's society, more and more people are learning and applying investment strategies to generate passive income. The idea of making money without making significant effort is very attractive to many, but at the same time it opens up new opportunities for scammers.
Cybercriminals skillfully use the "appetites" of those who want to earn money quickly and easily, deceiving them using various schemes. Each investment comes with its own risks.
It is important to remember that such earnings are a long-term process that requires time, patience and education. Quick and easy ways to earn passive income can be deceptive, and it's important to stay alert and sane to avoid becoming another victim of cybercriminals like the 55-year-old Lepel resident.
According to the investigation, in the summer of this year, a woman found an investment ad in a well-known social network. Wanting to make money, she responded to a tempting offer. She was immediately contacted and told that by transferring money to accounts, she could easily increase them. Believing the attackers, the woman regularly transferred money for five months, while taking out loans in banks. In total, the victim "invested" more than 122 thousand rubles.
When the woman turned to the "curator" with a request to cash out at least part of the money, the interlocutor insistently suggested "investing" in cryptocurrency in order to earn even more. The woman fulfilled all the requirements of the so-called analyst and registered on the cryptoplatform. For the sake of accuracy, the fraudster sent a screenshot to a resident of Lepel, allegedly her account with a large amount in foreign currency, assuring that in a matter of days you can increase your income.
The desire to cash out a large sum prompted a resident of Lepel to take another loan. Fortunately for the woman, her friends convinced her to contact law enforcement agencies, where the deception scheme was revealed. The woman's crypto wallet balance was exactly 0 rubles.
Investigators opened a criminal case under Part 4 of Article 209 (fraud committed on a particularly large scale). Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. Currently, investigative actions and operational search measures are being carried out aimed at identifying the person who committed this crime.
