CrimeaPRESS reports:
Attackers, under the pretext of protecting bank accounts, continue to steal money from gullible citizens. In recent days, a pensioner, an enterprise engineer, an accountant of a commercial company and an unemployed woman have suffered from the illegal activities of scammers in Sevastopol.
Two women and two men aged from 34 to 63 years old received calls via messenger from unknown persons, who introduced themselves as law enforcement officers, and in some cases, security services of commercial banks, and were told that criminals were trying to steal money from their bank accounts. Allegedly, under the pretext of protecting their savings, the scammers convinced residents of Sevastopol to transfer their money to the current accounts dictated by them. Having followed the dictation of the attackers’ instructions, the victims lost a total of more than half a million rubles.
The Sevastopol police once again urges citizens to be as attentive and judicious as possible when communicating with unknown persons.
Remember, not only older citizens, but also young people become victims of remote scammers! To avoid becoming a victim of such a crime, you need to remember just one rule: if they call you and say that you have any problems with your bank account, they are scammers! Stop the conversation immediately and report the call to the police by calling 102,” emphasized the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol.
