Criminal police officers of the Main Department of the National Police in the Transcarpathian region, together with investigators of the Police Department No. 1 of the Uzhgorod district Police Department, stopped the work of the fraudulent call center on duty.
In the course of operational work, the police found out that the office of a fraudulent organization was set up by malefactors in the city of Chop, Uzhgorod district. The organization involved four men from Kryvyi Rih, who attracted more than 30 operators to the scheme. The latter directly made calls to potential victims and extorted money from them.
They worked according to the following scheme: they introduced themselves as bank employees and reported that funds were withdrawn from the person's card. To ensure the security of their financial account, they offered assistance and lured out confidential information. In the future, the victims online wallets were reset to zero.
Law enforcement officers conducted searches at the place of operation of the fraudulent call center and seized all the equipment of the attackers from the scene. Investigators opened criminal proceedings under Part 2 of Article 361 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on the fact of unauthorized interference in the operation of information (automated), electronic communication, information and communication systems, electronic communication networks, committed by prior agreement by a group of individuals. The organizers face up to five years in prison for their actions.
Now law enforcement officers are identifying people who suffered from the actions of fraudsters and alleged accomplices of the defendants. The case continues to be investigated.
