In Khmelnytsky, a sales assistant of a grocery supermarket will appear before the court, who was withdrawing money from customers' bank cards, the National Police said.
It is noted that in April this year, investigators of the National Police in the Khmelnytsky region, together with the cyber police officers of the Khmelnytsky region, under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office, documented the criminal activities of a 23-year-old resident of the regional center, who, using special technical equipment, emptied the bank accounts of citizens.
Law enforcers found that in order to carry out his criminal activities, the defendant temporarily found a job as a sales assistant of one of the supermarkets. Preparing for the crime, he purchased a special device for reading information from magnetic tapes of bank cards (skimming equipment) via the Internet. With its help, an outgoing seller, distracting the client's attention, copied the details of their card accounts.
“ In the future, the attacker, using special programs, wrote down the received bank information on plastic cards, in fact, making a duplicate of the deceived customer's card, and withdrew money from the accounts of the victims through ATMs. The total amount of damage amounted to about 30 thousand hryvnia, ”the head office noted.
Law enforcers conducted searches at the place of residence and temporary stay of the offender, as a result of which they seized skimming equipment, an encoder, computer equipment, flash drives, draft records and compromised cards. The seized equipment and things were sent for examination.
The pre-trial investigation has now been completed. The indictment under Part 1, 2 of Article 185 and Part 1, 2 of Article 200 of the CC of Ukraine has already been sent to the Khmelnytsky City District Court for consideration.
