A network of fraudulent call centers operated in large cities of the Dnipropetrovsk region. In Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Nikopol, Kamenskoye and Samara, the work of 31 fraudulent call centers was exposed, Vidomo reports with reference to the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office . During the special operation, it was revealed that some of the exposed call centers operated under the guise of brokerage companies and pseudo-financial platforms - their "operators" persuaded people to invest funds in cryptocurrency and promised profits from stock exchange trading. The second part of the call centers presented themselves as employees of banks or government agencies. They received confidential information from gullible people and wrote off funds from the bank accounts of the victims. After that, the money was transferred to fictitious accounts and cards, from which cash was subsequently withdrawn. Among the victims: citizens of Ukraine, including military personnel, as well as foreigners. During the searches, more than 2,000 monitors, system units, monoblocks, laptops, on which about 1,000 people worked, mobile phones with SIM cards of mobile operators of Ukraine and Europe, rough notes, cash, fake IDs and other material evidence were seized. Currently, prosecutors are preparing a petition to seize the said property. And the pre-trial investigation under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is also ongoing. In addition, law enforcement officers are establishing the full circle of persons involved.
