A 38-year-old resident of Ternopil became a victim of fraudsters who introduced themselves as bank employees and promised to arrange financial assistance through online services. As a result, the woman lost 34 thousand hryvnias.
This is reported by the State Police of Ternopil Oblast.
The victim accepted the offer and, following the instructions, reported the code received on her phone. Shortly after that, 34,000 hryvnias were withdrawn from her bank card.
The police have started criminal proceedings on the fact of fraud. The crime is classified under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for a punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of three to eight years. Law enforcement officers continue to work to establish the identity of the fraudster.
We will remind you that the Center for countering disinformation at the National Security Council reported a fraudulent scheme that is being spread through fake letters about debts to the Nova Poshta company.
