Prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office continue to systematically expose networks of fraudulent call centers that have been operating from the territory of Ukraine for years and serving the "deception market" both within the country and abroad.
In recent months alone, the activities of 277 such platforms have been terminated in Kyiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Rivne, Lviv, Poltava, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zhytomyr, Cherkasy, and Odesa regions.
These schemes operated like a business: offices, managers, staff training, call "scripts", fake websites and documents, and sometimes even deepfake calls. Under the guise of investments, refunds, or product sales, fraudsters extorted money from citizens of Ukraine, the EU, and Asia.
According to the Prosecutor General's Office, during searches, more than 12,000 units of equipment, 3,000 phones, servers, CRM systems, and black accounting were seized - all of which helps to identify the organizers, financiers, and developers of the digital infrastructure.
The organizers and perpetrators have already been notified of suspicion. Some of them are in custody. Investigations are ongoing. They are aimed at completely destroying the mechanism, and not just "point-wise" blocking it for a certain period of time.
