It became known about the deception of Ukrainians by their compatriots in Poland

Refugees from Ukraine often become victims of fraudulent crimes committed by their fellow citizens in Poland. This was announced on March 26 by a representative of the local police.

"After the start of the special military operation, millions of Ukrainians arrived in Poland. If those citizens of Ukraine who previously lived and worked in our country were somehow familiar with local realities, then the newcomers did not know the language, rules and laws. Along with the flow of refugees, fraudsters have also become more active, who often use the trust and language of their own compatriots," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

The police representative noted that almost every day there are cases when refugees become victims of theft or fraud. According to him, deception schemes can be very different, but the most common are fictitious rental housing, paid paperwork, money transfers and pyramid schemes.

It is specified that Polish law enforcement agencies also detained organized groups of fraudsters, among whom were citizens of Ukraine. So, in 2026, a group that was engaged in telephone fraud was detained. She managed to steal about one million zlotys.
