Transcarpathian police liquidated another fraudulent call center (VIDEO)
Employees of the criminal police of the Beregovsky district department blocked the activities of a fraudulent call center, which the attackers arranged in the district center.
As a result of operational measures, law enforcement officers managed to establish that scammers specialized in luring money from foreigners.
It is now known that the organizer of the scheme, along with three other accomplices, rented office space to conduct illegal business and equipped it with all the necessary computer equipment. Further to the scheme, it attracted about 15 more people who worked as operators. Each of them must sign an agreement on non-disclosure of information about the activities of the call center.
Following the instructions and instructions provided by the figure, the operators called residents of neighboring European countries and offered them to purchase trading courses for investing money on favorable terms.
The client interested in the offer, following the phishing link, had to enter his bank details and thus log in to the system. Instead of the profits from the investment, the victims not only lost access to their financial assets, but also lost all savings in their bank accounts.
Thus, with the strong support of KORDU fighters in the premises of the fraudulent call center, the police conducted an authorized search.
During the investigation, all computer equipment, rough documentation and bank cards of the defendants were seized.
Currently, the police are identifying the alleged accomplices of the defendants and checking information on the people deceived by the attackers. The police on this fact opened criminal proceedings under Part 3 of Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, that is, fraud committed under the conditions of martial law, which caused significant damage.
The sanction of this article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to 5 years.
