Krympress reports:
Telephone fraud is one of the most common and dangerous forms of deception in the modern world. Fraudsters call under the guise of employees of banks, state bodies or other official organizations to lure your personal data, money or access to your accounts.
Cases when scammers call older people to mobile or stationary phones and report that their relatives allegedly became the culprits of the accident and to solve the situation it is necessary to transfer funds for a long time. Trying to save loved ones, citizens transfer large sums to the Couriers who arrived.
As a rule, as “messengers” criminals use minors who, due to age, are not fully realized by the danger of quick and easy earnings.
So, a 78-year-old resident of Simferopol was a victim of scammers in the indicated scheme. While in a state of shock and intending to help her daughter out of trouble, the elderly woman completed all the instructions of the unknown and handed over about 1.5 million rubles to the courier.
In all facts of fraud by investigative divisions of the internal affairs bodies, criminal cases have been instituted. Police officers establish other persons involved in criminal activity.
The Crimea police resemble!
If you received a call from the unknown — do not panic, do not succumb to provocations. Place the phone and in no case transfer money or value to anyone.
Offers of quick and easy earnings can be associated with illegal activities. In a short time, police officers establish the identities of the «messenger» scammers and delay them. Having agreed to work in this way, the teenager is in the spotlight in the investigation in the status of the suspect, thereby negatively affects his future fate.
