The police appeal to residents and visitors of Beregovo district asking to be careful in order not to become victims of telephone scams.
The most common fraud schemes, residents of Beregovo district suffer from, are calls about relative in distress. The caller poses as a law enforcement officer and demands money to “save” the relative from prison. They ask to transfer the money to the bank account…
This is how a resident of Beregovo, in order to save her son from prison for alleged drug sales, trasferred to the swindler’s account 11,000 UAH. Another one, “saving” the son from liability for inflicting bodily injury, lost two thousand hryvnias.

He received a call from a stranger, who introduced himself as a resident of another region, and asked the victim to tell his bank account number allegedly to transfer the rent. The next day, the men found out that all the money was gone from the account…
