Crimeans continue to give money to fraudsters. Millions of rubles, by the way

Schemes used by cyberfers according to the results of the past week:

-calls / calls in instant messengers (telegrams, votsap) on behalf of communication operators, bank employees, law enforcement agencies, the online portal «State Services»;

— “safe” account;

— purchase and sale of goods on free ads;

— False Restraint;

ATTENTION! The police resemble!

There are no safe accounts!

Through calls, 4 citizens

The Crimean police strongly recommend that you do not follow the instructions received as a result of a telephone conversation. In case of doubt about the conscientiousness of the caller, it is better to complete the call and call back the bank’s phone number or mobile operator (depending on who the “interlocutor” introduced himself).

A resident of Yevpatoria, who turned to the police, also spoke about the call from the «law enforcement agencies». Everything happened a week ago, when an authorized employee with a convincing voice said that the savings of a man were in danger. Not wanting to lose what he has gained, the Evpatorian followed the instructions of the «law enforcement» and translated 1 million 400 thousand rubles for the so -called safe account.

A resident of Feodosia came to the same trick, but in this case the call came from the bank employee. The man listed more than 290 thousand rubles for a safe account of scammers.

13 From the specified number of calls were carried out through instant messengers (telegrams, VOTSAP)

In the Messenger Telegram with a resident of Yalta, a fraudster contacted the Central Bank as an employee of the Central Bank. He told the girl that her passport data was stolen, as a result of which someone had already managed to issue loans of several million rubles in her name. For greater persuasiveness, the swindler sent a citizen to the messenger fabricated documents confirming the banking operation. After that, the “specialist” convinced the victim that the best way out of the situation was to take a oncoming loan and transfer it to another account. Having panicked, the Crimean woman began to issue the so -called mirror loans, but in the Crimean banks the client refused a large amount of money. Then a resident of Yalta, taking a taxi, went to Krasnodar, where she issued loans for the missing amount.

Thus, the girl gave the fraudsters more than 2 million 800 thousand rubles.

A resident of Bakhchisaray in the Telegram messenger received a call allegedly from a law enforcement officer. The caller informed the man that he was suspected of relations with the organization banned in the territory of our country, and the money that has been on his account is going to finance illegal activities. To avoid criminal liability, it is necessary to transfer all savings to the number indicated by him. Frightened, the citizen translated unknown more than 180 thousand rubles.

Remember! Law enforcement officers do not call on video communications in instant messengers! There are no safe accounts

How to recognize a scammer?

— distracts the volume of information — the calling says a lot, often complex and incomprehensible constructions, asks questions;

— Hurry to act — does not give time to think, drives, asks, as soon as possible to name the code;

— scares the consequences — The caller says that everything is bad: the money from the card leaves, the accounts are frozen. He offers a quick solution that will help to fix everything.

Through Internet sites, social networks, messengers, 22 citizens were deceived

Fraudsters deceived a resident of Yalta, hacking the account of her friend in Telegram. Under the guise of a friend, they asked for a loan 177 thousand rubles. The woman, not suspecting the deception, and without calling on to her friend, to personally make sure of the request, transferred the money to the specified account.

A resident of Kerch told the police that in the Watsap messenger, an unknown person wrote to her with an offer about additional earnings — investment in the brokerage platform. The woman agreed and sent as starting capital 48 thousand rubles. However, after a while, the declared income to the applicant’s card did not receive. Kerchka repeatedly tried to contact the subscriber, but ended up on the Black List.

Through the installation of third -party applications and the click on links

4 The citizen came to the tricks of scammers — they crossed the links from an unknown source and established harmful applications.

In one of the social networks, a resident of Feodosia met a girl who offered to go to the theater on the first date. To buy tickets, a new acquaintance sent a link to the online cashier. Without suspecting anything, the young man crossed the link and entered the data of his bank card — he wrote off the cavalier’s account more than 65 thousand rubles. Later it turned out that the link led to the phishing site, and the girl turned out to be a fraudster.

Do not follow the links on the Internet. Do not install unknown applications on your mobile phone.
