Retired man locks up courier of telephone scammers in his apartment

10 июня 2022
Another story with phone scammers ended with the arrest of the courier. An elderly citizen of Minsk received a call about his son, allegedly involved in an accident. The scheme is standard: $50 thousand is required for exemption from liability. The pensioner replied that there was no such amount. The alleged employee of the prosecutor's office replied that any amount would do for a start.

After a while a courier came to the man for money, whom the pensioner, having suspected something wrong, locked in his apartment and called the police. 

According to the detainee, he found an offer of additional earnings in a telegram channel, where he was sent addresses to receive the parcels. A criminal case was initiated for fraud on a large scale.
