The most popular schemes by which attackers steal money from Sevastopol residents are offers of easy money on the investment exchange, offers to protect a bank account from fraudsters, and sales and purchases in online stores.
This week, seven local residents aged 27 to 62 decided to get rich easily and quickly by investing their savings, who believed the promises of false brokers and transferred them a total of more than 1.5 million rubles. Three men and one woman aged from 43 to 62 years old received calls in the Telegram messenger from strangers who introduced themselves as bank employees and law enforcement officers and said that they were trying to steal their money, so they urgently needed to transfer their savings to “spare” accounts. After following the scammers’ instructions, the men lost a total of about 900 thousand rubles, and a 56-year-old woman transferred almost 3 million rubles,” noted the press service of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Sevastopol.
Seven more residents of Sevastopol, aged 20 to 51, became victims of scammers during sales and purchases of clothing, shoes, household appliances and furniture. Having carelessly entered their bank card details, the victims lost more than 90 thousand rubles due to clicking on the links they offered.
Dear citizens! The Sevastopol police remind you that scammers are offering easy and quick money by investing on the stock exchange.
If they call you and tell you about problems with your bank account, these are remote scammers!
When making transactions on online platforms, use the services of trusted sellers. Do not enter your card details in forms offered to you by strangers, you may become a victim of scammers!
