In Ternopil, a 69-year-old man followed a phishing link and lost all the money he had in his accounts - UAH 460 thousand. Law enforcement officers are looking for the swindler.

This was reported on Saturday, July 27, by the press service of the National Police of the Ternopil region.

According to the man, he saw an announcement on social networks about the provision of payments from the Help UA charitable foundation. To receive payments, it was noted that it was necessary to go to the website and provide bank card details, which the man did. After that, all the money disappeared from all the man’s accounts – 460 thousand UAH.

“In fact, the scammers send links to a phishing email, and after people submit an application, the attackers steal their savings,” the National Police said.
