A fraudster managed to get British Defense Minister Ben Wallace into a trap he had set up for him yesterday, Thursday, when he called him and told him that he was Dennis Shmyhal the Prime Minister of Ukraine, according to the minister in a tweet on "Twitter", according to what he mentioned to the local "Times" newspaper.

The allegation involved Ben Wallace, to the extent that he spoke from his mobile phone for 10 minutes to someone who deluded him that he was actually the Ukrainian prime minister, although each of them was seeing the other on the phone screen, because the call was a “video” type, during which the fraudster asked “misleading questions.” It raised my suspicions, and I ended the conversation," said Ben Wallace.

According to Al-Arabiya.net, Wallace told the newspaper that the fraudster "looked like the prime minister (that is, looks like him) and behind him the Ukrainian flag appeared, and it was clear that he was trying to deceive us," and that the impersonator "Denis Schmihal" asked him if the United Kingdom would send warships to the Black Sea, and whether it would sign a possible security agreement, as well as questions about whether Ukraine should acquire nuclear weapons.

The trap-trapper also asked him about the possibility that Ukraine would abandon its ambition to join NATO and become a neutral country.

And the "Times" expressed its belief that the communication request began with a fraudulent email, the author of which claimed that it was from an assistant at the Ukrainian embassy in London, and then the request was sent from a government department in the United Kingdom to the Ministry of Defense.
