Swindlers under the guise of employees of banking institutions deceived Ukrainians.
In Kharkov, "call centers" were exposed, with the help of which fraudsters lured money from bank customers. There were more than a hundred intruders, they made a profit of more than UAH 7 million per month, the police press service reports.
Investigators and operatives of the National Police established that from June to December 2020, the attackers organized three "call centers" in Kharkov. "Operators" called bank clients, pretended to be managers and received personal data of citizens necessary to access accounts. Then the funds were transferred to the accounts of the group members, and after that - to the territory of the aggressor state. Then the money in the form of cryptocurrency was returned to Ukraine.
For this activity, the attackers found an office, purchased computer equipment, communication facilities, hired administrators, operators and programmers. The group made "plans" to deceive citizens. For work, they used the base of one of the banks on the territory of Ukraine, founded by the aggressor state.
On December 14, law enforcement officers conducted 14 simultaneous searches in the "call centers" and at the homes of the organizers and participants of the scheme. Seized computers, documents, communications, bank cards and 140,000 hryvnia.
After the completion of the investigation, the actions of the attackers can be re-qualified as a crime committed by an organized group.
