A resident of Sumy region wanted to receive financial assistance “from the President”, but lost over 55 thousand

The Sumy Region Police warn citizens against rash and hasty actions when offered financial assistance.

Law enforcement officers note that almost daily they receive applications from citizens that they have become victims of fraudsters when applying for financial assistance, allegedly from the state, Ukrainian charitable or international funds.

Law enforcement officers call to take into account all the risks if information about this is taken from social networks or from unknown persons, and not to take hasty actions so as not to lose all your savings.

It is reported that in Hlukhiv, a 50-year-old woman received a message on Viber with information about the possibility of receiving financial assistance «from the President» in the amount of 1,000 UAH. Interested in the offer, she followed the link to a third-party site, where she disclosed her confidential bank details. As a result of such carelessness, the woman lost more than 55,000 UAH, which were transferred to the criminals' cards.

The police, upon a complaint about the crime, opened a criminal case under Art. 190 «Fraud» of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
