Three women residing in Vilnius and Kaunas were defrauded of a total of 159,570 euros by an individual identified as S.T., who was connected to an organized phone scam group. The preliminary investigation was conducted by officers from the Criminal Police Department of the Vilnius County Police Office, under the direction of the prosecutor of the Vilnius District Prosecutor’s Office. According to the findings, between September 2025 and January 2026, a Ukrainian citizen operated within this criminal group.
This individual, alongside others, utilized a pre-established criminal plan and agreement to target victims. The scammers offered fraudulent assistance, marketed as “extrasensors,” through various internet messaging programs and social networks. Further investigation uncovered a separate fraudulent operation in Vilnius involving a “SIM box” farm.
In this instance, the perpetrators created numerous fake accounts and fabricated payment systems to deceive the public. The authorities have confirmed that the operation was systematic, involving coordination across multiple platforms. The involvement of a foreign citizen in coordinating the scheme highlights the transnational nature of these financial crimes.
The investigation continues to examine the full scope of the network responsible for defrauding the three victims and apprehending all members of the group.
