According to hvylya.net: In Kyiv, a criminal group has been uncovered that used call centers to deceive foreign citizens. According to the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine, citizens of Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine were involved in this scheme.
Fraudsters used pseudo-justifications for identifying suspicious financial transactions to demand confidential banking information from victims – from card numbers to access codes. Once they obtained this data, the perpetrators stole money from their victims' accounts and then legalized the profits through cryptocurrency exchanges abroad.
During searches, law enforcement seized computers, phones, records, and other evidence of the crime. An investigation is currently underway, and a comprehensive expert examination has been appointed.
As a result of the joint efforts of law enforcement agencies, the criminal scheme has been halted, and those responsible will be held accountable for their actions.
