A pseudo-banker swindled 140,000 hryvnias from a resident of the Husyatyn community

140 692 hryvnias was transferred to the account of fraudsters in two transactions by a resident of the Huchyatyn community. The woman was sure that she was securing her electronic wallet in this way, but in fact – intentionally sent all savings to unknown people.

The investigation is carried out by the investigators of the Gujatyn Police Department. During the inspection, they established that on December 25, an unknown person called the woman and introduced himself as a representative of the security service of one of the financial institutions. The man reported that someone was trying to get access to the money on the card. During the conversation, the unknown person immediately offered to help secure the funds and protect the wallet.

He assured that he had already created other cards for the client and told to transfer money to them. The woman did everything and withdrew the funds to the proposed accounts and only then realized that, apart from the card numbers, she does not know the PIN codes or the passwords to them.

And only after losing money did the victim seek help from the police. The issue of opening proceedings in accordance with Article 190 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is being resolved. Study continues.

Police officers remind that the bank employee does not ask for the PIN code and CVV/CVV2 code, and also does not try to enter any special combinations or SMS codes that come to you number If this happens, then find out: your card data is already in the hands of fraudsters and they are just withdrawing money from there, and they need the SMS code to confirm the operation.
