How do Ukrainian criminals work?
The Ukrainians' pattern of action is rather simple. They first hack into their social networking account, take over, and then send a message to their friends, asking for BLIC code. Criminals, impersonating the account owner, have loose conversations to avoid causing them anxiety.
At any point they ask for a debt in the form of a BLIC code for the amount of respective 100 zlotys, while promising to return the money as shortly as possible.
