Kyiv law enforcement officers have exposed an organized group that committed fraud through fake online platforms, trying to deceive Czech citizens. This activity led to financial losses of millions of hryvnias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A joint operation by cyber police and investigators from the Main Department of the National Police in Kyiv, supported by the city prosecutor’s office, enabled the identification of the organizers and employees of fraudulent call centers operating in the capital. The fraudsters specialized in stealing funds from the bank accounts of EU citizens, creating phishing sites that pretended to be popular online stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The criminal scheme involved dozens of people from different regions of Ukraine, with a clear division of roles: the “coders” were responsible for developing and supporting phishing platforms and Telegram bots, and they also ensured the anonymity of the participants in the schemes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result of the investigation, investigators announced suspicion of four organizers and two executors of this fraudulent activity, with the total financial losses of the victims amounting to almost 3 million UAH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On September 23, journalists exposed another fraudulent call center located at 35 Shevchenko Boulevard. This pseudo-investment office is located on the seventh floor. Despite the security guard’s information that the premises are empty, journalists noticed young people acting suspiciously on the balcony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, another fraudulent call center with 70 workplaces was discovered in the basement of a prestigious business center on Kontraktova Street, operating as a “fraud factory” in the very center of the historical district of Podil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
