The second common scam involves the purchase of dietary supplements. Scammers impersonate SBU officers and claim that victims purchased dietary supplements online, and the funds from the purchase have gone to the aggressor country, which is financing military aggression against Ukraine. The perpetrators then threaten that criminal proceedings will be initiated against the victims, but to avoid this, they must provide the available funds for verification.
Many reports from victims also indicate that their money was stolen during calls supposedly from the "bank security service." Under various pretenses, these scammers steal the client's personal data or advise transferring funds to a so-called "white" card to secure the money in the bank.
Police warn: do not click on unknown links, do not disclose any data of your payment card and passwords.
