In Lviv, a man is set to stand trial for deceiving people out of nearly 300,000 UAH by promising easy earnings.

In Lviv, law enforcement officials have submitted an indictment to the court regarding a 22-year-old man who devised a fraudulent scheme to seize citizens' funds.

According to the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office, the perpetrator used Telegram channels to find individuals looking to earn money quickly and easily. He then convinced them that they needed to authorize their accounts to receive funds. Under this pretext, the man deceitfully obtained the victims' confidential information and issued bank cards in their names.

“However, during the application process, he used his own number as the bank account. This way, he gained online access to the victims' accounts.

Subsequently, the accused took out bank loans in the victims' names for various amounts,” the prosecutor's office reported.

In total, the fraudster deceived 31 individuals, amounting to nearly 300,000 UAH.

The man is currently in custody.
