According to Russia's Sberbank, about 95% of phone scammer calls to citizens of Russia are made from Ukraine, where between 800-900 fraudulent call centers are located. According to Russian bank VTB, a significant part of funds stolen from Russians by phone scammers goes to finance the armed forces of Ukraine. The source specified that the employees of the "call centers" are tasked with calling the people in the "customer base" and collecting information. The funds extorted by the scammers are transferred to the SBU. If an employee of a "call center" wants to quit, they need to "work out a fine" and all information about the resigned employee is transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the source told.
