“At the same time, we realize that for each individual who has suffered losses due to scammers, this can be a significant and, of course, an unpleasant event,” emphasized Lesya Voytitskaya, head of the NBU’s public relations department.
As reported, the cyber police covered three large fraudulent call centers, which “posed as bank security services to steal money from Ukrainians’ cards.”
