Desired a high-paying job: how a Ukrainian woman lost over 100,000 hryvnias.

A resident of Ternopil sought employment but ended up losing a significant amount of money instead. On November 26, the details of the case were shared by the press service of the Ternopil region police.

The Ukrainian was looking for a job abroad. She found an advertisement online and contacted the "employer." The unknown individual promised official employment in the USA with a high salary. However, there was a small catch — she needed to arrange documents, which required expenses.

The woman sent money and, just a few days later, realized she had fallen victim to a scammer. The "employer" cut off communication — initially ignoring her calls and then turning off the phone altogether. The victim assessed her losses at 115,000 hryvnias.

Law enforcement has initiated a fraud case. The police are working to identify those involved in the illegal scheme.

The agency provided tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of scammers. Ukrainians were reminded that employment fraud typically begins with promises of high salaries "in foreign currency." Moreover, fake employers do not require any education or experience from candidates. Instead, they assure that work can be done from home.

"It all ends with neither money nor a job," the press service emphasized.

If you still cannot avoid scammers, law enforcement recommends not to delay and to contact the "102" hotline.

Recall that the Prosecutor General's Office reported that a repeatedly convicted Ukrainian set up a "trap" in a rented apartment and called the police there. To document the explosion and its aftermath, he installed cameras in the room.

On the night of November 26, the Russian Armed Forces attacked critical infrastructure in the Ternopil region. In Ternopil and about 70% of other localities in the region, the power went out.
