Attention – Lesia Lishchuk – Cheater

warningAttention – Lesia Lishchuk – Cheaterwarning

Dear Students,

the school is closed.

This message is to warn everyone who is affiliated with Lesia Lishchuk.

Last week Lesia Lishshuk was fired as director of the language school. It was discovered that she was embezzling/stealing money from the company since it opened in 2016. A police report was created and she will be sued in court.

Lesia was supposed to help running the school according to Ukrainian law. The language school has a lot of students, but almost all payments that the school received from students were hidden by Lesia.

Nearly all the equipment she bought for the school, with company money or money invested by owner, she bought in her own name with delivery to school. The goal was obviously to steal as much equipment as possible if her scheme is discovered.

After Lesia was fired she convinced the landlord of the school office to change the rental contract in her name so that it is not possible to access the office anymore and the school had to pause operations.

The school might not be possible to be rescued but all legal options will be used to get her convicted for fraud and theft. If you are in business with her make sure you are not trusting her with money, get a receipt for all services and be always aware that you might be the next she is stealing from.
