Scammers in Ukraine use the names of officials – how the scheme works

“Attention! Telephone fraud! Recently, the heads of business entities began to receive phone calls from unidentified persons,” the official warned.

He told the scheme used by criminals and urged not to respond to such calls.

“Fraudsters introduce themselves in the name of my deputy and, as if, on my instructions, they demand an unlawful benefit in relation to violations of environmental legislation, threaten.

He noted that he had already prepared statements to the cyber police for further investigation of this case and wrote one of the numbers that scammers use for such calls.

It is worth noting that scammers have recently become more likely to use the names of other people or the names of an organization for their scams.
