Sevastopol police warn: beware of remote scammers!
A 65-year-old resident of Sevastopol, who suffered from the actions of swindlers, contacted the police. It turned out that back in February of this year, a woman found an advertisement on one of the sites with a tempting offer to receive income from the purchase of shares. Believing the promise of strangers and believing that she was acquiring securities that would later bring her profit, the victim spent several months transferring funds totaling more than 350 thousand rubles to accounts controlled by the scammers. However, she never received the promised dividends.
Based on this fact, employees of the internal affairs bodies have opened a criminal case under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Fraud”) and are taking all necessary measures aimed at solving the crime— reported the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopoliu.
In order to prevent such cases, the Sevastopol police urges you to be vigilant and careful:
If you are offered to transfer funds to participate in any project, you need to critically evaluate the tempting offer you receive. Remember that most often the promise of quick and easy income by investing your money is a trick of scammers who want to steal your savings. In order not to suffer from a crime, do not transfer your funds to unfamiliar or unfamiliar citizens and organizations.
If you have suffered from a crime, you must immediately contact the nearest territorial unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia or call 102.
