Disclosure Unknown persons send messages about “monetary compensation” for Ukrainians from the Ukrainian Sports Association
In the Ukrainian segment of social networks, in particular on Facebook, an advertising post is being distributed with information that the Ukrainian Sports Association is allegedly providing assistance in the amount of 7,500 hryvnias for Ukrainians “affected by the war”. This was reported by the TSN publication on its page. Then the publication suggests applying for financial assistance.
However, fact-checkers of the VoxCheck project have established that such a payment from the Ukrainian Sports Association does not exist. Fraudsters use the application form as a way to obtain users' personal information.
Moreover, the page that distributed the fake publication about compensation actually mimics the real TSN account on Facebook.
Also, there is no announcement about the payment on the official website of the Ukrainian Sports Association, and the association's website has not been updated since 2021. Also, the link to the site with alleged information about the social payment differs from the official link to the Ministry of Social Policy website.
