CALLS.
Over the course of a week, 38 citizens were deceived in Crimea, including 17 pensioners.
21 of the specified number of CALLS were made through Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram messengers, including using the logo of one of the leading banks in Crimeanoted the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Crimea.
INTERNET SITES, SOCIAL NETWORKS.
15 citizens were deceived, 3 of whom were pensioners.
On free classifieds sites and in groups on social networks, attackers post:

ALWAYS double check the information!
