The action of the organisation
The organization was reportedly to have developed action at least since early July 2026.
The callers identified potential victims and presented them with a number of pretensions, including that they supposedly call as employees of the TEN or for the installation of fibre optics.
The second level of fraud
When the potential victim expressed doubts, the impostors passed to the... second level of the vagina. They asked for the phone number of a relative of the person, which they usually called the representative of a mobile service provider.
The cloned voice convinced the victims
Through a brief conversation they extracted a sample of his voice and with the help of an artificial intelligence tool, copied the features of the voice.
Then they returned to the original victim and put the cloned voice to «Speak». Thus they created the impression that the relative is indeed on the other side of the phone line and confirms what the perpetrators had previously said.
