Krympress reports:
Only last year (!), Sevastopol residents transferred more than 550 million rubles to distance attackers. Now, cases of telephone fraud have become more frequent in the city, in this regard, the police of Sevastopol holds the preventive action “Caution and Mennants!”.
From February 10 to February 19, employees of the internal affairs bodies remind local residents of the most popular schemes of remote deception used by attackers, carry out a number of measures to counteract fraud and talk about how to resist this threat.
Among the most used tricks:
1. Unknown persons are submitted by law enforcement officers or employees of state institutions, report a threat to a bank account or a criminal case on the fact of sponsoring terrorism. Then they give instructions and urge to transfer money to “safe” accounts.
2. Attackers offer “light” earnings: either by investing in cryptocurrency, or by creating artificial excitement around the goods on the trading platform. They ask to transfer funds and no longer get in touch.
3. Unknown people are submitted by sellers on trading floors on the Internet, receive money for a personal bank account and cease to respond to calls and customer messages.
