Cyber police detained a gang of crypto fraudsters consisting of four young residents of Dnieper, who created a network of fake web exchangers for converting cryptocurrencies.
Just a month ago, cryptocurrency scammers deceived a Ukrainian out of a million hryvnia and again a high-profile crypto scam. Cyber police officers managed to identify a network of pseudo-sites masquerading as crypto exchangers. A criminal group of four residents of Dnieper created a network of resources that imitated the activities of legal web exchangers. The fake web resources were professionally designed, had an abundance of positive reviews, and had their own CMS content management system. It is not surprising that this organization of the process attracted many users. The electronic wallets indicated on the websites of exchangers, to which the victims transferred money, according to the investigation, are registered with fake documents of foreign citizens. Having collected the clients' funds in this way, the site stopped operating, and the criminal group launched a new one according to a proven scheme.
Employees of the departments of the Cyber Police Department managed to detain the attackers and conduct searches at the residence of the suspects, during which the computer equipment used by the defendants was seized and sent for examination. In total, at the moment, the investigation is aware of six episodes of fraud. It is possible that this is not a complete list of fraudulent sites and law enforcement agencies ask citizens to contact the cyber police department if they have additional information.
Identified as fraudulent websites:

wowex/./online
swapex/./net
myexchanger/./lv
iconvex/./net
likechange/./biz
Three residents of Dnieper, suspected of committing online fraud, have been charged under Part 3 of Art. 190 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
