It seems to be an adult man, 52 years old … but he fell for the bait of Internet scammers. Case in Sevastopol

CrimeaPRESS reports:

Another story about online fraud in Sevastopol. In broad daylight 52 — a year-old local resident received a call from an unknown person who introduced himself as a bank employee and, under the pretext of protecting a bank account from unauthorized access, convinced him to transfer 07 thousand rubles to the account indicated by him. The man complied with the requirements of the scammer and transferred all the funds from the credit card to the dictated account. Now the police are handling the case.

The Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Sevastopol reminds:

Bank employees never call their customers to report alleged problems with their bank account. This is done exclusively by scammers. Wanting to deceive a potential victim, criminals can call in instant messengers using fake numbers and even logos of well-known banks.

If you receive such calls and messages about problems with your bank account (unauthorized access, system failure, attempt to steal or transfer money, apply for a loan, etc.), you should immediately end the conversation!

To make sure that you were called by remote scammers to steal money, call your bank hotline yourself and make sure that your bank account is completely safe.
