The investigation found that three inhabitants of Dnipropetrovsk, Volyn and Cherkasy regions transferred their personal data to a group of fraudsters for monetary remuneration. They registered electronic wallets, FOPs and virtual service. The fraudsters then learned that the woman received state aid in connection with the death of her husband in the war, and that she saves these funds on a bank deposit.
They called her under the guise of mobile operator and persuaded to turn off the phone for a while. Then, with the help of a seven-card recovery service, they made an electronic duplicate of its number and made access to the online banking of the victim. In the future, through accounts on cryptocurrencies, fraudsters brought almost UAH 4 million to controlled accounts. Investigative actions are ongoing to establish other persons directly involved in fraud.
