Police release video warning Ukrainian refugees of Czech fraudsters

The Czech police have released a video in Ukrainian warning refugees arriving in the country about the dangers of being tricked by conmen. The video was produced after the police uncovered cases of fraudsters trying to charge Ukrainian refugees to speed up the procedure of registering to stay in the Czech Republic, a service that is free.

The new arrivals, many of whom are women, have also been warned to beware of offers of lucrative jobs that could lead to them ending up in forced labour or prostitution.
