Abstract:
У науковій статті названо та проаналізовано найбільш поширені способи вчинення
шахрайства в Інтернеті. Автор досліджує заходи протидії таким кримінальним правопорушенням,
зважаючи на існуючі підрозділи у складі Національної поліції та чинне законодавство. У
дослідженні наведено офіційні статистичні дані, що надають можливість самостійно дійти
висновку про ефективність наявних заходів протидії шахрайству в Інтернеті та необхідність
визначення інших стратегічних напрямів його попередження. The Internet today is the largest
information and telecommunication system, as it contains information of various levels and fields of
knowledge, creates an opportunity for the emergence of contractual obligations, employment, provision
of services or performance of works, etc. Despite the fact that this network has systems to protect against
wrongdoing by criminals, it is still vulnerable and requires measures to be taken by the relevant actors to
prevent criminal offenses in the network.
The scientific article names and analyzes the most common ways of committing fraud on the
Internet. The author examines countermeasures against these criminal offenses, taking into account the
existing units of the National Police and current legislation. The study represenrs official statistical data
that provide an opportunity to independently draw a conclusion about the effectiveness of existing
measures to combat fraud on the Internet and the need to determine other strategic directions for its
prevention.
Taking into account the statistics of cases of fraud on the Internet, the author found insufficient
effectiveness of prevention measures. During the research, he found out that the range of these measures
is quite wide. In this case, a paradox is observed: with a significant number of preventive measures,
computer criminal offenses do not decrease, and in some places their number increases. This can be
explained by the specifics of the tools with which they are committed, because there is a problem in
determining the mechanism of committing a criminal offense, identifying, recording and collecting
evidence. In view of the above, the question arises about interaction between services and units in order to
bring offenders to criminal responsibility, because cases of unsolved fraud, unfortunately, are not an
exception in the modern practice of the National Police. The key body in solving computer criminal
offenses is the Cyber Police Department of the National Police of Ukraine, whose competence includes
the formation and implementation of state policy on the prevention and counteraction of criminal offenses
committed with the help of electronic computing machines (computers), systems and computers computer
networks, as well as telecommunication networks, by studying the mechanism of their preparation,
execution or concealment
