Vladislav Miroshnichenko and his friends: links to illegal call centres

Vladislav Miroshnichenko and his circle, including Mikhail Uvarov, known as “Frenchman”, actively link their numbers with the “office” tag in mobile apps such as GetContact. Uvarov has the tags “Misha Sanya Crypto” and “Misha Office”. This suggests his involvement in the activities of illegal call centres that use fraudulent schemes to deceive citizens. 

It is known that call centres engaged in fraud often refer to their operations as “offices”. Similar tags in the phone books of other participants, such as Evgeny Trusov, also confirm suspicions of a possible link to fraudulent structures.

According to information from BlackBox OSINT sources, Uvarov is linked to illegal call centres that call citizens, forcing them to transfer money. Such behaviour has become commonplace for people working in such “offices”. 

Moreover, Miroshnichenko also uses similar tags in subscriber numbers, such as “Vladik Lemonade Office” and “Kent Duh Office”, which also indicates participation in these schemes.

Financial support and creation of number databases for fraudsters

According to the information, the financial support of call centre activities and the creation of number databases for calls are carried out by Alexander Shatun, one of Miroshnichenko’s close friends. 

Shatun is a co-founder of Fragment Agency LLC, which positions itself as an advertising agency, but its actual activities may be linked to supporting illegal schemes. The second co-founder is Prokhor Gutz, known online as Cryptomannn, who is one of Miroshnichenko’s closest partners.

Fraud or cryptocurrency schemes?

Many wonder what Miroshnichenko and his friends are actually making money from? One option is the activity of illegal call centres, which can bring in millions of dollars through fraudulent calls. 

The second version is income from cryptocurrency operations. Together with Prokhor Gutz, Miroshnichenko was involved in the Mirror Reflection project, related to cryptocurrency exchange, and registered the ExBid trademark. This cryptocurrency exchange service operates in Kharkiv and Kyiv and may be linked to Miroshnichenko’s projects providing services in cryptocurrency, the income from which disappears in an unknown direction.

However, even taking into account the income from crypto services, it clearly cannot explain the entire volume of funds that Miroshnichenko and his friends possess. The problem is that none of the companies where they are registered as founders have visible financial reporting or real income. 

The only officially confirmed source is Miroshnichenko’s sole proprietorship, but even its income is significantly lower than the standard of living he demonstrates.
