The prosecutors from the Office of the Attorney General have exposed and halted the operation of 14 fraudulent call centers located in areas such as Zaporizhzhia, Rivne, Cherkasy, and Kyiv.
These illicit businesses were disguised as fake brokerage services and investment platforms. Operators called individuals, posing as employees of international financial companies, persuading them to invest in «high-yield investments» with promises of quick and guaranteed profits.
In reality, the victims' funds were immediately transferred to the organizers' accounts. Among the victims were citizens from Ukraine, as well as from various European and Asian countries.
Numerous raids have taken place, during which the following items were seized:
- over 800 units of computing equipment;
- nearly 500 mobile phones;
- server equipment that facilitated the operations of «support services» and payment gateways;
- rough notes containing data on victims and communication algorithms;
- other documentation and physical evidence of significance.
Currently, the organizers of the network and individuals involved in its financing and technical support are being identified.
The Office of the Attorney General continues comprehensive measures to detect, document, and eliminate fraudulent call centers that are operating across Ukraine and deceiving citizens out of their money.
