The SBU’s cyberfactors together with the National Anti-Terrorism, Extremism and Cybercrime Agency of the Czech Police detained the organizers of the fraudulent call center in Uzhgorod, which stole electronic accounts of EU citizens.
About it reports the SBU.
Fraudsters used viral programs to appropriate cryptocurrency and bank accounts of foreign citizens.
In order to find customers, the persons involved in Uzhgorod, an underground call center, which involved at least 70 operators aged 19 to 27 years.
According to the instructions, they were called foreigners, represented by investment consultants, and persuaded to invest in “promising” cryptoprorectives.
IT specialists, which were part of the call center, created online advertising, where fake platforms for investing were advertised.
In both cases, fraudsters were offered their victims to register in an e -office, which allowed the attackers to break customer devices.
Further, the defendants went on cryptographers and bank applications and transferred the stolen funds to their own accounts. In this way, at least 2 million in UAH was taken over at least 2 million.
During the searches at the call center and in the premises of the defendants, mobile phones and computer equipment with evidence of crimes were removed.
The organizers of the scheme were reported suspicion under Part 5 of Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud in particularly large sizes).
The attackers are in custody. They are threatened with up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property. Investigative actions are ongoing to prosecute all participants in the equipment.
Last August, thanks to international cooperation, Ukrainian law enforcement officers, together with colleagues from Europol, European and law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Moldova and Romania, eliminated the activities of a fraudulent collector whose participants made money from citizens.
We will remind that in June 2023 the Assistant Mykola Tyshchenko Evelyn Andrievskaya created the NGO “TSC National” – the same name for the Provisional Special Commission, which stopped the activity one month before. After the closure of the TSK Tishchenko, he stated during the year that he allegedly “exposes” the colcentra and bottham as well as “checks” the infrastructure objects as part of the commission.
On June 20, in the Dnieper, a group of persons, at the behest of the People’s Deputy Tyshchenko, unlawfully deprived the will of the victim – the former serviceman of the Armed Forces. It was kept for some time and caused injuries.
The State Bureau of Investigation reported the suspicion of People’s Deputy Mykola Tyshchenko on the illegal imprisonment of a former serviceman in the Dnieper. He will have a preventive measure in the near future. The prosecution is planned to ask for a 24 -hour house arrest.
