The other day, operational officers of the Cross-Border Crime Unit of the Eastern Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, with force support from fighters of the 10th Mobile Border Guard Detachment "DOZOR," together with prosecutors from the Left Bank District Prosecutor’s Office of the city of Dnipro, exposed and shut down a large-scale fraudulent call center operating in Dnipro.
Law enforcement officers found that the organisers of the illegal activity posed as employees of banking institutions and government agencies, Censor.NET reports.
Details of the investigation
The perpetrators called citizens and fraudulently obtained confidential access details to bank accounts, after which they illegally withdrew funds.
The money was withdrawn through trusted individuals
During an authorised search of the call centre, more than 250 pieces of computer and telecommunications equipment were seized, which supported the work of about 100 operators.
Draft materials were also found — prepared "scripts" for misleading citizens.
The pre-trial investigation is ongoing within criminal proceedings into fraud committed on an especially large scale or by an organised group.
Law enforcement is establishing the full circle of people involved in the scheme and identifying victims who suffered financial losses.
