Ukrainians often receive this message from a friend via messenger. Don’t rush to transfer money – scammers could have broken his account.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs advised to first make sure that it was him, ask a few questions for clarification, or call him by phone.
Law enforcement officials said that this is one of the most common schemes used by scammers. Yes, recently in the Khmelnytskyi region a man contacted the police. A friend wrote to him in one of the messengers and asked for a loan.
The victim transferred money to the specified bank account, after which she asked for more. She explained that this was not enough, begged for help and promised to return everything. In total, the man transferred her 29 thousand UAH. and only later did I find out that my friend’s account had been broken.
Be careful and don’t let yourself be deceived, the Ministry of Internal Affairs urged.
