Investigators of the Zhytomyr regional police department have collected evidence of the involvement of a 27-year-old citizen of Zhytomyr in at least 30 criminal offenses.

During the pre-trial investigation, it was established that the man posted ads about remote work in various communities on social networks and instant messengers. The offer of good earnings for sorting colored pencils at home attracted many seekers of "easy" money.

After receiving feedback from an interested client, the man continued to communicate by phone, talked about all the advantages of the proposed activity and again promised a considerable profit. Job seekers only needed to pay for the delivery of the product to receive a batch of pencils.

Depending on the number of received stationery items, the amount to be paid is from 400 to 1400 hryvnias. However, after receiving funds to the bank account specified by the employer, the "customers" did not receive their goods. The man also blocked them on social networks. The total amount of losses caused to the victims reaches about 20 thousand hryvnias.

The identity and location of the person involved in the fraudsters were established by operatives of the criminal investigation department of the Zhytomyr regional police department.

During the investigation in the man's house, law enforcement officers seized evidence of his illegal activities: computer equipment with recording correspondence with job seekers and a bank card of a cohabitant, which he used for his transactions without her knowledge.

Now the defendant is charged with committing criminal offenses under Part 1 and Part 2 of Article 190 (Fraud). Criminal Code of Ukraine. The pre-trial investigation is still ongoing.

For the committed acts, the suspect faces up to three years in prison.
