The scheme was exposed by employees of the Cyber Police Department together with the Main Investigation Department of the National Police. The attackers used a well-known online auction and took possession of the money of citizens. Thus, a 42-year-old resident of the capital registered a fake account for bidding, which he attracted his 59-year-old acquaintance to administer. The attackers put up lots for the sale of souvenir, collectible and antique coins, which they did not have in stock. The "sellers" promised the winners to send the lots by mail after the transfer of money to the bank accounts controlled by the defendants. Having received the money, the malefactors "disappeared".

It was also established that enterprising residents of the capital created and administered fake pages of stores selling various goods, including furniture at reduced prices, on social networks. The main condition was a full subscription. They involved a 29-year-old resident of Kharkov in illegal activities.
