Under the procedural guidance of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional and District Prosecutor's Offices, the activities of 31 fraudulent call centers have been terminated, which operated in Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Nikopol, Kamianske, and Samara in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Some of the uncovered call centers operated under the guise of brokerage companies and pseudo-financial platforms. The "operators" persuaded citizens to invest money in cryptocurrency and promised profits from trading on the stock exchange.

Other participants in the scheme posed as employees of banks or government institutions. Through telephone fraud, they obtained confidential information and withdrew funds from the victims' bank accounts. The illegally obtained money was transferred to front accounts and bank cards, after which it was cashed out through controlled individuals.

Among the victims are citizens of Ukraine, including military personnel, as well as foreigners.

During the searches, more than 2000 units of computer equipment, mobile phones, cash, forged identification documents, and other physical evidence were seized. Prosecutors are currently preparing a motion for the arrest of the specified property.

Pre-trial investigations are ongoing in the criminal proceedings under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The full circle of individuals involved in the operation of the fraudulent network is being established, and the victims are being identified.
