Deceiving the rich is a no-brainer for experienced swindler Oleksandr Litskevych. The most surprising thing is that he has been running his fake luxury brand schemes for years.

And yet, people continue to get into trouble in their pursuit of "cheap elite goods". What is known about the odious young Kyiv swindler Sasha Litskevych? How much longer will he deceive people? And why are law enforcement agencies inactive? Are they in the know?

"Elite" fakes: what is known about Litskevych’s "business"

It would seem that all adults and sensible people should understand that original brands cost accordingly, but for some reason they continue to fall for scammers and buy counterfeits of fashion brands that are passed off as originals. It would seem that the topic of the scam has long been exposed and no one should fall for this... But, as they say, our people are invincible... And then they complain that they were deceived... No one wants to be left a fool, but, as we can see in fact, there are plenty of deceived people.

Here is the site of that same rogue Litskevych. Everything is beautiful, nothing superfluous, according to all the rules of SMM promotion. A picture that people like, everything is laid out clearly by positions, high-quality presentation.

In other words, Litskevych spent money on creating a stylish website that has been bringing him income for a long time. To put it in perspective, this website has been around since 2012. And people are eating it up…

That is, scammers have been deceiving users for 9 years now, selling fakes as originals of popular brands.

And now, finally, after some ten years, the case has moved from dead center... Funny or rather sad... Kyiv counterfeiting specialist Sanya Litskevych has finally come under fire. Finally, law enforcement agencies "paid" attention to the large-scale scam of his composition "Lux Groups".

Thus, in September 2019, the fraudster Litskevych, the owner of the elite counterfeit store "Lux Group", was loudly detained. Under the guise of such a beautiful name, the comrade deceived his clients, passing off beautiful cheap things as expensive accessories. At the same time, he pompously covered himself with his "important" connections with the top of power. This was reported by sources from law enforcement agencies.

And immediately after such “shifts”, the comrade began to clean up the inappropriate information in the information space about his “adventures”.

According to sources, the turnover of this "branded" store was up to one million dollars monthly. Note that the arrest of this comrade is worthy of an Oscar, like in action movies. Everything happened with a chase, police sirens and an elite Mercedes S222 Coupe. Then even an "interception plan" was announced. But, despite the pathos, Litskevych was arrested. What is interesting is that the Internet has been cleaned up beautifully, there are no photos from that "event".

Next – the presentation of the suspicion and the investigation… But there, as you understand, not everything is so clean. There were also investigative investigations into those law enforcement officers who covered him up. And one more important fact. Recently, law enforcement agencies have increasingly received statements about the illegal actions of the suspect. But there are no loud reactions from law enforcement officers on this topic either.

Litskevych was charged with selling expensive contraband accessories and expensive counterfeits at inflated prices. SSU officers conducted searches, and the "goods" were confiscated. But the whole thing was "hushed up". It is clear that the information was presented selectively and incoherently. It seems to be there, but in fact, it is not really there. It is clear that the information space was again well cleaned in this case.

It is interesting that when the negative is cleared, positive advertising publications also appear. For example, Litskevich’s site is advertised by other resources. For example, here is an advertisement on the Domnadambe.com.ua site for the sale of houses in Koncha-Zaspa.

The phone number listed on the website is the phone number of the Park Lane real estate agency in Kyiv.

Here is another advertisement on the Eurasia ExpertStroy website...

And also the Sezzam website…

In general, work on restoring a positive image is being done somehow, but still, the owner is not particularly bothered, probably counting on the greed and short-sightedness of the rich, who will want to save money and buy “elite” goods without any advertising.

Scheme from "Lux Groups": how Litskevych managed to deceive the rich for years

The most surprising thing is that, despite the pursuits, arrests, searches, the business of the enterprising comrade continues to flourish. How is that possible? Although in our country there is little that can surprise us anymore…

As this swindler’s many years of experience have shown, the rich, thieving representatives of the Ukrainian elite are easily taken in by the glitter and tinsel that Litskevych sells through his boutique "Lux Groups". If you go to the online version of the pseudo-brand store, the accessories on display are visually simply impossible to distinguish from the original.

There is even a pawn shop where you can hand in your jewelry. And all this stuff is located in the very center of the capital on Velyka Vasylkivska, 5. By the way, this is not an invitation to visit the "boutique", this is a sad reality. The fact is that the website works, the store works, but the law enforcement system is screwing up... Contrary to common sense, facts and evidence...

As the state register of court decisions shows, Lux Groups has 11 documents, from 2015 to 2020.

So, for example, here is a document on that very criminal case 755/13728/19 , which concerns the cancellation of the seizure of the property of “Lux Groups”.

The list of returned "goods" is not complete, but we counted what was returned, we were not lazy... So, the owner of the counterfeit products Litskevych was returned 748 "supposedly elite" accessories. From the "laugh" series: under number 1 were business cards of "Lux Groups"...

If we look at the root of the problem, this company first appeared in the register of court decisions with criminal activity back in 2015.

As you can see, the address is the same, it just sounds the same - Chervonoarmiyska St., 5. It was then that the difficult Ukrainians began to officially complain about Litskevych’s fraudulent activities.

An interesting point, as noted in the media, is that Litskevich’s connections with law enforcement officers helped him reclassify the criminal case of October 31, 2019, to Article 190 – fraud.

P.S.

But all investigations died down... The "goods" taken away during the search were mostly returned. The case was not closed, but it was of no use. And as a result, the capital’s swindler Oleksandr Litskevych continues to deceive people, foisting off beautiful consumer goods under the guise of original elite brands.

More to come.
