The head of the Odessa Oblast Police Department warned about scammers acting on his behalf

The official statement was published in Oleh Kiper's Telegram channel.

Dear citizens!, – the appeal said. – On my behalf, attackers are sending fake messages demanding the transfer of funds. I urge you not to succumb to these provocations!

All such cases are being carefully recorded, and the materials have already been transferred to law enforcement agencies for further investigation. Remain attentive and prudent!
