The man wanted to receive “cash assistance”, but instead lost 65 thousand hryvnias

A 52-year-old resident of Nizhyn contacted the police with a report that almost 65 thousand hryvnias had disappeared from his bank account. The man told law enforcement officers that he had received a message in the messenger «Viber» about the issuance of «cash assistance» from an international organization.

This is reported by the Nizhyn District Police.

Under the pretext of receiving funds, the man clicked on the link and entered his bank card number. After that, an unknown man called him and said that in order to receive the assistance, he would need to provide the codes that would be sent to the applicant's mobile phone in SMS messages. The victim fulfilled all the stranger's conditions, and then discovered that 65 thousand hryvnias had been debited from his card.

Currently, the police are searching for those involved in the fraud within the framework of criminal proceedings opened under Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud).
