In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, scammers swindled almost 127,000 hryvnias from a woman

A 63-year-old resident from Ivano-Frankivsk posted an ad for selling clothes on a website.

Soon, a potential buyer contacted her and sent a phishing link for arranging online delivery.

The victim entered her banking details on the fraudulent site.

After the payment for the goods was received, she was immediately called by a fake bank employee. He convinced the woman that she needed to save the received funds by transferring the money to another account.

Later, the fraudster gained remote access to the victim’s accounts and increased the credit limit in her name.

As a result, the scammers withdrew almost 127,000 hryvnias from the woman’s account.
