According to the investigation, on March 5, 2025, a resident of the region came across an advertisement on Facebook for free AI courses in a group called «Group-MT.» After subscribing, he received a message on Telegram from a person who introduced himself as a consultant. She sent a free guide and convinced the victim to activate a «trading bot» that supposedly automatically makes money on the crypto exchange.
To do this, the man transferred 12,664 hryvnias to the specified bank card on March 10. The bot actually worked for about a month, and even paid out $20 once. But later he was offered to deposit another $1,000. When the user refused and wanted to withdraw the funds, the bot was blocked. No one responded to messages on Telegram or by phone anymore.
Criminal proceedings have been opened in the case under Part 1 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — fraud. The police investigator applied to the court with a request for access to the telecom data of the suspect numbers.
