Scammers start using teenagers as couriers, intimidating them with criminal cases

Scammers have started using teenagers as couriers, intimidating them with criminal charges.

A 17-year-old from Minsk was deceived: scammers tricked him into revealing an SMS code, convinced him he had legal problems, and forced him to hand over about $2,000 of his parents' savings.

Then the teenager was sent to collect money from a 16-year-old boy who was scammed in a similar way. The latter handed over about 8,000 rubles. Both believed they were acting under law enforcement instructions.
