Scammers from the Dnipro region embezzled almost UAH 500,000, “collecting” money for the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Five people aged 31 to 56 searched social networks for ads about fees for the Armed Forces, presented themselves as employees of payment services and promised to help with transfers from Poland.

The regional police reported this on Facebook.

Under the guise of converting money, the scammers learned people's bank details and withdrew money from their accounts.

The case was transferred to court. The defendants face up to 8 years in prison for fraud.
