Ativities of 14 call centres that extorted money from citizens of Ukraine, EU countries and Asia have been exposed. VIDEO
Prosecutors from the Office of the Prosecutor General exposed and shut down 14 fraudulent call centres operating in the Zaporizhzhia, Rivne, Cherkasy regions and Kyiv.
The scheme operated under the guise of "brokerage services" and investment platforms, according to Censor.NET.
The operators presented themselves as employees of international financial companies and persuaded people to invest in "high-yield investments."
In reality, there were no investments — the funds were immediately transferred to the organisers' accounts. The victims include citizens of Ukraine, EU countries and Asia.
During the searches, the following items were seized:
- over 800 pieces of computer equipment;
- almost 500 mobile phones;
- server equipment;
- draft records with personal data of victims and "scripts" of conversations.
The organisers of the network and the individuals who provided its financing and technical support are currently being identified.
