Police expose fraudster who defrauded woman of 300,000 hryvnias

Cherkasy police officers exposed a fraudster – a previously convicted 40-year-old resident of the Kyiv region. Law enforcement officers established the man's involvement in 41 cases of illegal activity for a total amount of about 300 thousand hryvnias.

Law enforcement officers established that the defendant in a telephone conversation with the victim, under the guise of receiving additional earnings, found out the full details of a bank card, after which he took out a number of credit agreements in her name without her knowledge. The attacker cashed part of the funds, and used the rest to purchase expensive goods through the «payment by installments» service.

In this way, the attacker managed to defraud a woman of 300 thousand hryvnias.

Having collected enough evidence, the investigators informed the defendant of suspicion of committing crimes under Part 1 of Article 357, Parts 1, 2 of Article 182 and Parts 2, 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The suspect faces up to eight years in prison. The investigation is ongoing.
