Ukrainians have lost millions over fake call centers for years: police exposed an international network

Ukrainian law enforcement officers, together with the Czech Police, revealed one of the largest fraud schemes that acted under the guise of legal call centers. Hundreds of deceived, millions of losses and a whole "corporation" of scams - all this has existed in the country for years, pretending to be a professional service company.

According to the Deputy Head of the National Police Andriy Nebitov, a 32-year-old resident of the Dnieper is a key involved. It was he who organized a full criminal structure that operated according to all the rules of "business": there were operators, accountants, guards, lawyers and even polygraphists in the state.

" They worked professionally, boldly, cynical. But there are no ideal schemes. And their time came ," Nedbit said.

Pseudocouns centers called people, introduced themselves to bank employees and with the help of psychological manipulations made access to accounts or personal information. It all looked convincing: the scenarios of conversations, scripts, "support service" - everything was created so that the victims had no doubt.

The operation swept the Dnipropetrovsk, Vinnytsia, Poltava and Zaporizhzhya regions, where dozens of searches were conducted. Investigators found that fraudsters operated not only in Ukraine but also worked closely with Czech citizens.

In the framework of the case, six Czech citizens have already been exposed, some of them were extradited to the Czech Republic where the court is waiting for them. This confirms the international nature of the scheme: calls were made from Ukraine, and auxiliary infrastructure and some of the participants worked abroad.

The chief organizer and one of the key performers has already been informed of suspicion of articles about the creation of a criminal organization and fraud in particularly large amounts.

Law enforcement officers do not exclude that the network could be larger than expected, and do not reject new detentions within the case. The amount of stolen funds can reach tens of millions of hryvnias.

"This operation is not just successful. It is an example of how the team works, how the international partnership gives a real result. And how no one is hidden abroad, if he decided to live at the expense of another's trouble," Andrei Nebitov said.

The investigation is ongoing. Security officers are studying the organizations of organizers with other countries and companies that could provide fraudulent services.
