The activities of an international network of fraudulent call centers have been suppressed in Minsk

An international network of fraudulent call centers has been suppressed in Minsk. This was announced on February 25 by the press service of the Investigative Committee of Belarus.

"The activities of fraudulent call centers have been suppressed in Minsk," the department's Telegram channel says.

It is specified that during the operation, law enforcement officers of Belarus detained persons involved in the activities of an international organized criminal group. According to investigators, the group's members created more than 800 fake websites, which published proposals for allegedly high-yield investments in non-existent financial structures.

The UK added that using electronic questionnaires, the attackers collected personal data of citizens, and then convinced the victims to transfer funds to fictitious accounts, while posing as "financial specialists."

Later, fraudsters imitated successful trading on fake platforms and, under various pretexts, forced citizens to continue depositing new amounts, the department stressed. It is noted that the stolen funds were transferred to accounts that were under the control of participants in the criminal scheme, while no other details of the investigation are provided.
