In Sevastopol, three citizens, “defending” bank accounts from “danger”, transferred almost 4 million rubles to fraudsters

Krympress reports:

In the first case, an unknown person called a 20-year-old student of one of the universities and introduced himself as an employee of Rosfinmonitoring. He convinced the girl that her bank account is in danger and it was urgent to save savings. Having believed the stranger, she transferred 94 thousand rubles to scammers controlled by scammers.

In the second case, the 76-year-old pensioner became the victim. An unknown person called him and said that he was an employee of the bank security service. Under the pretext of protecting the money, an elderly man transferred 890 thousand rubles to the account indicated by scammers.

The most damage was caused to the 78-year-old Sevastopol. False workshops of the FSB and the Central Bank called him, saying that his finances are at risk. Under pressure, the pensioner transferred 2 million 800 thousand rubles to “safe accounts”.

The police of Sevastopol strongly recommends citizens Observe precautions. It is important to remember that real employees of banks and state bodies never require transferring money. Upon receipt of suspicious calls, it is better to put the phone immediately and independently call back to the official support of the bank or the state institution by the number indicated on the official website.
