In Khmelnytskyi, a pseudomilitary man was convicted of fraud for 670 thousand hryvnias.

According to ТСН: In Khmelnytskyi, a man impersonating a soldier deceived a 29-year-old woman out of over 670 thousand hryvnias and received a three-year sentence.

According to the Khmelnytskyi police, the attacker started communicating with a resident of the Zaporizhzhia region via Telegram, using a fabricated story about 'serving at the front.' He gained the victim's trust, and over several months she sent him money supposedly 'for the needs of the unit.'

The police clarified that as a result, the woman transferred more than 670 thousand hryvnias to the attacker, who spent this money for his own needs.

'Police have charged a 22-year-old man with fraud in large amounts,' the statement says.

The court found the resident of Khmelnytskyi guilty and sentenced him to three years in prison. Additionally, he is required to reimburse the victim for the damages caused.

Fraud by a fake bank employee

Earlier, a fake bank representative deceived a pensioner out of 64 thousand hryvnias. The attackers acted in concert, posing as bank employees and informing the man about supposedly 'suspicious activity' on his account. Through psychological pressure, they forced the pensioner to disclose confidential information for access to his online banking.

As a result, the fraudsters illegally took possession of 64 thousand hryvnias. The individual facing charges could face up to eight years in prison.

This situation highlights how scammers exploit people's trust to take their money. It is important to be cautious and verify information before providing financial help. Remember that you can always contact relatives or law enforcement for confirmation of the need for assistance.
