Selling non-existent products: Zaporizhzhia police have apprehended a fraudster.

The press service of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Zaporizhia region reported this.

The perpetrator informed that a relevant "specialist" would call the "clients" back. After gaining the trust of unsuspecting buyers, the scammer called them from a different phone and provided a bank account number to which they needed to transfer funds. Once the money was received, the man ceased communication and changed his phone numbers.

As a result, at least seven individuals from various regions of the country fell victim to the scammer.

Recently, law enforcement conducted a search at the suspect's address and seized 6 mobile phones, 5 bank cards, a tablet, and handwritten notes.

The suspect has now been notified of the charges for committing a crime under Part 2,4 of Article 190 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
