Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has taken down network of six call centers in Lviv. The call centers used VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone numbers to hide their locations while scamming thousands of foreign investors. The operators offered foreigners to invest money in stocks and cryptocurrency. US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said in May that more than $80 million were lost to cryptocurrency investment scams, based on stats stemming from roughly 7,000 reports received since October 2020. This equates to a ten-fold increase in the median amount lost to scammers.”]
