Ukrainian National Police have raided a network of scam call centers promising fake cryptocurrency investments that defrauded victims in Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan and the European Union. During the operation, police detained 14 suspects and seized 12 luxury cars, 136 computer devices, 951 SIM cards and $64,500 in funds. The scammers posed as stock exchange employees and used psychological techniques to persuade victims to invest in cryptocurrencies and transfer the funds to digital wallets and bank cards controlled by criminal organizations. Police said one of the network's organizers was linked to a "thief boss" nicknamed "Khmyelo".
