The Kherson regional prosecutor's office approved and sent to the court an indictment against three members of an organized group who, by deception and illegal operations using electronic computers, stole more than 250 thousand UAH from Ukrainian bank cards (part 4 of Art. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The investigation found that the attackers, using the online trading platform on the Internet, set up a fraudulent scheme to seize the funds of citizens. The defendants called the victims and, posing as employees of the security service of the largest banks in Ukraine, received details from their bank cards. With the help of various payment systems, the members of the group made out money transfers from the bank cards of the victims to the accounts controlled by the organizer.
Thus, the scammers managed to deceive at least nine people.
During the searches, law enforcement officers seized mobile phones, SIM-cards, which were used as a means of committing crimes, bank cards, to which the victims' funds were transferred.
Now the pre-trial investigation, carried out by the Investigative Department of Police No. 2 Khrup GUNP in the Kherson region, has been completed. Operational support was carried out by the cybercrime department in the Kherson region of the cyberpolice department of the Ukrainian state of emergency.
