Law enforcement in Lviv is investigating a fraud case in which a local woman lost 96,000 UAH. The perpetrators managed to access her banking information through a fake scheme during an online transaction for a suitcase.
The incident occurred when the victim listed the suitcase for sale. Posing as buyers, the scammers deceived her and gained access to her bank account, withdrawing a significant amount of money.
Police discovered the case during social media monitoring after the woman publicly criticized their alleged inaction in the investigation.
A criminal case has been opened under Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (fraud committed using electronic computing technology). The pretrial investigation is ongoing, with efforts focused on identifying and prosecuting the culprits.
