It became known how scammers process loans in Ukrainians without their knowledge

In the name of DroneUA's head Valeriy Yakovenko, scammers took a loan on the Moneyveo internet site, using data from the ProZorro database.

The drone manufacturer spoke about it on his Facebook page.

According to him, he learned about the fraud of 9300 amount accidentally.

“What surprised me was when I found out that two privileged overdrafts on my cards for a total round sum simply disappeared. In other words, the entire credit history accumulated by my salary, millions of hryvnias of taxes paid, vanished,” he added.

Explaining the situation, Moneyveo, according to Interfax-Ukraine, stated that when signing the online contract they did not verify the cardholder’s name with the name on the supplied documents, because “some time ago we had the opportunity to issue a credit on a bearer card.” But now there is no such opportunity.

“We implemented the verification of the card owner across many banks and the applicant. Everything happens automatically,” wrote Moneyveo's Marketing Director Maxim Paraska on Facebook.

Currently Moneyveo cooperates with law enforcement agencies in the case of finding the perpetrators. However Paraska also draws attention to ProZorro’s activity with its universal openness of personal data.

Meanwhile, according to First Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade Maksym Nevyodov, concealing personal data in the electronic procurement system would lead to increased corruption risks during tender procedures.
