Ukrainians were deceived for millions of hryvnias - the organizer and three accomplices who established the work of a fraudulent call center in the temporarily occupied territory were exposed.
Under the procedural guidance of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office and the Left Bank District Prosecutor's Office of the city of Dnipro, four members of the organized group were notified of suspicion on the fact of fraud (Parts 4, 5 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, the suspects have established the functioning of a fraudulent call center in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region.
They lured money from the victims with the help of phone calls. Using the replacement of the phone number - "vishing", the fraudsters introduced themselves as employees of the security service of banking institutions. During the conversation with the victims, they reported allegedly suspicious financial transactions with their bank cards.
Under the pretext of qualified assistance, the suspects provided instructions and instructions to citizens, as a result of which they gained full access to their online banking. In the future, the funds were transferred to unauthorized persons of the so-called "drops" and cashed out.
Now 24 victims have been identified, who suffered damage totaling at least 3 million hryvnias. All the victims are citizens of Ukraine.
During authorized searches at the places of residence of the suspects, mobile phones, SIM cards, bank cards, draft records and documentation were seized.
