Investigators established that an organised group operated in Dnipro, systematically appropriating citizens' funds. The fraudsters' primary tool was mass messaging in Telegram and Viber, where potential victims received notifications about allegedly won prizes. This approach allowed the criminals to quickly identify and recruit new clients into their scheme.
A key element of the criminal activity was the use of so-called "drops" — individuals whose personal data was used to open bank accounts. Group members posted advertisements on social media for the purchase of personal and identification documents. The scheme involved not only professional "drops" but also vulnerable segments of the population: students, pensioners and unemployed people.
Payment cards were issued using others' data, with full control passing to the organisers. Funds extracted from victims were transferred to these accounts. The money was then withdrawn in cash via ATMs or converted into cryptocurrency through P2P operations.
According to the investigation, the group had a clear division of functions. One part of the participants controlled the call centre operators' work and monitored fund movements. Others handled technical aspects: issuing bank cards in the names of nominees, withdrawing cash and its subsequent conversion.
During investigative actions, law enforcement officers confiscated significant assets. Among the seized funds were over €40,000, $18,000 and 113,000 hryvnia. Firearms with ammunition, 158 mobile phones, 35 units of computer equipment, 13 external storage devices, 25 SIM cards, 153 SIM holders, 10 bank cards and two Starlink satellite internet kits were also found.
Separately, nine premium-segment cars and SUVs were seized: Audi S8, RS7 and A6, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, BMW X6M and 535XI, Toyota Land Cruiser 200, Subaru Forester and Cupra Formentor. Law enforcement officers also sealed documentation and draft notes containing evidence of criminal activity.
Information about the commission of fraud has been entered into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations; the investigation is ongoing.
