Beware, scammers: Ukrainians warned about a new scheme for obtaining 'war child' status.

Ukraine has seen a rise in the activity of scammers who deliberately spread false information about obtaining 'war child' status for the purpose of receiving aid.

The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine refuted these rumors and warned citizens about potential dangers.

'This information is spread by scammers aiming to gain access to your personal information. Do not follow such links and do not disseminate information from unofficial sources,' the ministry warned.

The ministry reminds that according to the legislation on the provision of 'war child' status for those harmed by military actions and armed conflicts, applications and necessary documents must be submitted directly to the children's services.

It is important to understand that the services provided to children with this status are determined individually after assessing their needs.

Experts from the Ministry of Social Policy urge not to follow the link to apply for 'war child' status if it appears online, as it is a scam scheme.

The ministry urges citizens to trust only the official information available on the official website of the ministry and its official social media pages.

Earlier, it was reported which messages are better to avoid saving on the phone.
