Man took loans for BYN 58,000 and gave money to scammers

A 39-year-old resident of Minsk District took loans for 58,000 rubles and handed over the money to scammers after believing a story about fake 'employees' from the tax service and cybersecurity. First, he received a call allegedly from 'Belposhta' asking for an SMS code. Then he was convinced that suspicious transfers were being made in his name, and was persuaded to take loans from two banks. Afterward, fake employees of the National Bank and law enforcement joined the scheme. The man handed over the money at a designated location and only realized he was scammed two weeks later.
