The police officers collected irrefutable evidence that the participants of the criminal group committed 45 facts of misappropriation of official documents of citizens from all over Ukraine and illegal use of them to commit almost 250 frauds against legal entities engaged in financial activities. The defendants face up to 8 years in prison for their crimes.

Last year, operatives of the regional Criminal Investigation Department, together with colleagues from the Investigation Department of the GUNP in the Chernivtsi region, under the procedural guidance of the Chernivtsi Regional Prosecutor's Office, neutralized the functioning of a fraudulent organized criminal group.

During the investigation, the police found out that a 29-year-old resident of the capital, together with two accomplices, aged 21 and 29, had set up a scheme for illegal enrichment. Malefactors in one social network placed ads about remote work - " People do not pay money for links, sites! There is an opportunity to earn money daily, you need cards. Honestly! Legally! Write to your email address ." During the correspondence, scammers told potential victims the conditions of earning money and entered into a trust to obtain confidential information. In order to gain favor and trust, "employers" paid citizens 500 hryvnias for each use of the card account.

In the future, the scammers received copies of documents, namely the passport, individual taxpayer code and other personal data of the victims, and also persuaded them to enter combinations on the mobile phone that blocked the phone number. Having carried out these manipulations, the scammers gained access to the victims ' online banking and issued loans in their name.

Police officers of the Chernivtsi region found that members of the organized crime group committed almost 250 frauds and 45 facts of misappropriation and use of official documents. Thus, the scammers managed to seize almost 2 million hryvnias.

Now the police investigators have completed the pre-trial investigation, the materials of which with the indictment were sent to the court for consideration. Malefactors are charged with committing criminal offenses provided for by the Legislation of the Russian Federation.:
