Dear residents and guests of the city! The police of Sevastopol urges to be as attentive and reasonable as possible when dealing with the unknown. If they called you, introduced themselves as employees of a bank or law enforcement agencies and said that you had problems with your bank account, these are remote scammers. Be sure to tell your relatives, especially the elderly, about the precautions.

Be careful and vigilant!
