"Bysol" revealed how the fund was deceived: unknown individuals invented cancer for a real woman and sent fake documents
On October 28, "Bysol" launched a fundraiser for Alena Litvinenka — a Belarusian woman allegedly battling breast cancer in Poland. However, it turned out that Alena herself had no intention of contacting the fund.

"Bysol" representatives told "Nasha Niva" that they encountered document forgery — and had to prematurely close an already opened fundraiser.
The case concerns Alena Litvinenka, a Belarusian woman who allegedly contacted "Bysol" to raise money for targeted drugs to treat breast cancer in Poland. In reality, as the fund found out, the woman had not contacted "Bysol". Her acquaintances informed the fund about this.
The person who impersonated Alena submitted copies of her documents to "Bysol", including medical ones, as well as a photo of the woman.
The fund assures that they conduct verification and do not open a fundraiser without appropriate documents.
However, this time it was discovered that the documents were forged, after the fundraiser was published.
"Bysol" regards the current incident as either an attempt at fraud or a provocation. During the fund's existence, they have dealt with fraudsters before, but never, they say, has such a complex fraud scheme been carried out against the fund.
Within a few hours while the fundraiser was live on the website, "Alena" received donations of about 500 euros out of the 5000 they intended to collect. These funds are planned to be returned to the donors within a few business days — they were not transferred to those who tried to deceive the fund.
The fund now plans to improve its verification algorithm to counter AI threats — they believe that the documents and photos from "Alena" were forged specifically with the help of AI. And they are considering contacting the police.

Но мошенники могли открыть счет на имя Елены Литвиненко в какой нить шарашкиной конторе типа Wise или Revolut, где счет открывают удаленно по документам, которые тоже можно подделать
