The number of fraud cases in Ukraine has risen, with criminals posing as employees of the Security Service and other law enforcement agencies. According to the SBU, the perpetrators attempt to obtain money through threats of fabricated criminal proceedings, such as alleged treason or financing Russia.
To increase psychological pressure, the fraudsters send fake summons for interrogations via messaging services. They then offer to “resolve” the matter and demand money transfers to avoid supposed criminal liability.
The SBU advises citizens to remain vigilant and verify information only through official sources, such as the SBU website (ssu.gov.ua) or verified social media pages. This warning comes at a time when the security situation in Ukraine remains tense.
