A pseudo-bank employee who swindled over 100,000 hryvnias from people was tried in the Odessa region. The 19-year-old fraudster managed to avoid prison.
This was reported by the press service of the National Police in the Odessa region.
Molodyk found potential victims on social networks. He went to their pages, got their phone numbers, and called them, posing as a bank employee. He claimed that attempts to illegally withdraw money were recorded on people's accounts, so for “protection” it was necessary to urgently transfer the funds to another account.
Three men from Chernihiv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Khmelnytskyi regions believed the scammer and transferred him over 57 thousand hryvnias.
However, the offender did not stop there. After some time, he began to act more brazenly – convincing the victims to give him access to their bank accounts. He entered their personal accounts in online banking and withdrew money himself. In this way, he robbed three more people from Mykolaiv, Rivne and Vinnytsia regions, taking over 51 thousand hryvnias
The police collected all the evidence and transferred the case to court. The fraudster was found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison, but with a two-year probationary period. This means he will remain free if he follows the rules and does not break the law.
Law enforcement officers urged citizens to be careful – do not give out your bank card details to anyone and do not transfer money on the instructions of unknown persons over the phone.
