According to Odaily, the National Police of Ukraine have conducted a raid on a fraudulent call center network that promised false cryptocurrency investments. The network scammed victims from Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan, and the European Union. During the operation, the police detained 14 suspects and seized 12 luxury cars, 136 computer devices, 951 SIM cards, and funds amounting to $64,500.
The fraudsters posed as employees of a securities exchange, persuading victims to invest in cryptocurrency through psychological tactics. They then transferred the funds to digital wallets and bank cards controlled by the criminal organization. The police have linked one of the organizers of this network to a notorious criminal known by the nickname 'Khmyelo'.
