Most often, Crimeans become victims of scammers who are presented by employees of various state and financial institutions. Under various pretexts, they convince citizens to transfer to their so -called “safe accounts” all their savings, which leads to serious financial losses. Remember! There are no safe accounts!

The Crimea police recommends Do not follow 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).

Last week, a significant amount was transferred by a resident of Feodosia, who transferred fraudsters to accounts 2 million rubles. She staged that in the WhatsApp messenger, she was allegedly called from the Central Bank of Russia for a week. At first, one of the «employees» announced a leak of personal data, as a result of which loans were issued in the name of the woman. Then the second “competent employee” invited the excited Crimean to settle everything: to issue a “mirror” loan and send money to a “safe” account in order to cancel the previous applications for a cash loan, and at the same time protect money from the next criminal encroachments.

Without understanding the situation and acting according to the instructions of the unknown, the applicant sent for unidentified money, some of which took on credit, and some of the personal savings.

A resident of Simferopol came to a similar scheme, who received calls from unknown people in the Telegram messenger. They were submitted by employees of the public service portal, Rosfinmonitoring, as well as law enforcement agencies. The callers informed the man about suspicious activity on his account in public services. In order for his data, including funds, not to be used for criminal purposes, they persistently recommended to transfer all savings to a “safe” account. Yielding to panic, the applicant complied with the so -called employees and transferred more to dictated accounts 1 million 700 thousand rubles.

A police resident of one of the villages of Yalta said that in the WhatsApp messenger, an unknown person called her, who introduced himself as an employee of the analytical center and offered additional earnings through the platform of the brokerage company.

However, when the declared income did not enter the applicant’s card, she called back by number, but he was outside the access zone.

A resident of Simferopol received a call from an unknown number. The caller introduced himself as an employee of the MFC and said that it was necessary to pay off the loan. Wanting to get rid of debt, the woman transferred to a dictated account more than 350 thousand rubles.

Kerchka was called a man who introduced himself as an employee of an investment company. He convinced the woman that, having invested money in one of the large banks, she would make a big profit. The proposal seemed attractive to her, and the woman transferred more than 120 thousand rubles. After that, the «representative» of the investment company stopped answering calls. Then she realized that she was deceived by scammers.

How to recognize a scammer?

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

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

— 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 — scares the consequences.
