Prosecutors from the Office of the Attorney General uncovered and halted the activities of a network of 14 fraudulent call centers operating in particular in the Zaporizhzhia, Rivne, Cherkasy regions, and the city of Kyiv.

The illegal business was disguised as a pseudo-brokerage service and fictitious investment platforms. Operators called people, posing as employees of international financial companies. They convinced citizens to invest money in "high-yield investments" and promised quick and guaranteed earnings.

In reality, the victims' funds were immediately transferred to the organizers' accounts. Among the victims were citizens of Ukraine, as well as those from European and Asian countries.

Dozens of searches have been conducted, during which the following were seized:

• over 800 units of computer equipment;

• nearly 500 mobile phones;

• server equipment that supported the operation of "support services" and payment gateways;

• rough notes containing the victims' data and communication algorithms;

• other documentation and physical evidence of evidentiary value.

Currently, the organizers of the network are being identified, as well as individuals involved in its financing and technical support.

The Office of the Attorney General continues comprehensive measures to detect, document, and eliminate fraudulent call centers that operate en masse in Ukraine and deceive citizens out of their money.
