Combating illegal call centers: what the Prosecutor General's Office does and how to protect your data

An unexpected call from the "bank." A message in the messenger about a "blocked account." An "investment offer" with unrealistically high returns. A package for which "you need to urgently pay 10 UAH."

Almost always, professional fraud call centers are behind this.

These are organized platforms where dozens of operators work under strict instructions: they spoof numbers, write on behalf of banks, delivery services, or law enforcement agencies, call at night, pressure, scare, and force you to act hastily. Their goal is to obtain your data and money.

The Office of the Prosecutor General is systematically dismantling this industry.
In just the last few months, prosecutors have conducted over 270 searches and shut down hundreds of platforms. Servers, computers, and equipment for number spoofing have been seized. In some cities, fraudsters resumed operations the very next day - as in Odesa, where the call center had to be shut down again.

The Office of the Prosecutor General urges citizens to be vigilant: never share your card details, CVV codes, passwords, and one-time codes with strangers.

The fight against fraudulent call centers continues.
