The prosecutor's office brought to court the case of three young men who organized a fraudulent scheme of deception of investors in cryptocurrency. The prosecutors of the Obolon District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv submitted an indictment against three people, who are accused of creating a fraudulent scheme of "Investing in cryptocurrency".
In October 2023, the defendants created and administered the popular 1million community telegram, which advertised high income from cryptocurrency investments. The fraudsters assured the potential investors that their funds would be successfully invested, and in a few days they would make a profit with interest. However, after receiving the funds, investors began to demand additional commissions for withdrawal. As soon as people paid these additional commissions, they were blocked and access to funds was blocked.
In order to attract attention and attract more clients, fraudsters have published fake reviews of allegedly satisfied investors who have already received heavy profits.
78 of the victims affected by this scheme for a total amount of more than UAH 500 thousand were established. The accused has now partially compensated the damage caused to the victims.
This is not the only similar scheme in Ukraine. The fraudsters who staged a fraudulent Call center in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region were recently exposed, making money from Ukrainians. Also, law enforcement officers of the Cherkasy region revealed fraudsters who resorted to deception under the guise of the military, stopping more than UAH 2.5 million hryvnias of charity.
