A businesswoman in the Rivne region gave almost 200 thousand to scammers

Transfer funds to the military administration to help the defenders — this is the message the businesswoman received.

The other day, the police received a message from an employee of a limited liability company that their email address had  letter from the alleged head of government regarding the transfer of funds for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is reported by the Rivne region police.

Therefore, the businesswoman transferred almost 200 thousand hryvnias, and as it turned out, to fraudsters.

However, the information provided is not true: the regional authorities do not conduct any fundraisers!

The police urge you to be careful and check the source of information, including the reliability of any money collections.
