However, there were consequences: law enforcement officers recorded six facts of crimes, where the attackers acted through information and communication technologies.

Employees of the Department for the Processing of Fraudulent Operations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs took a number of measures to block the financial infrastructure of the attackers. As a result, it was possible to block payment channels to 15 foreign details used by the attackers. In addition, the movement of funds on 184 bank accounts involved in criminal schemes was suspended.

The security forces also detained three couriers who carried out the orders of fraudsters.

Statistics of methods of deception remain unchanged: in the first place - buying goods through the Internet. This is followed by vishing (calls allegedly on behalf of officials) and theft through social media.

Work to identify and combat fraudulent activities continues.

The police once again urge citizens to be vigilant. Anything that promises easy earnings or goods at a low price on the Internet, as a rule, turns into a loss of money. If you receive a questionable call, stop communicating and call the police.
