The prosecutor's office of Sevastopol has filed 23 claims against droppers since the beginning of the year

Krympress reports:

The prosecutor’s office of Sevastopol in court protects the rights of people affected by the actions of telephone scammers.

Often, at the direction of the attackers, the victims, not knowing that, transfer money to droppers, that is, to persons who, for one reason or another, including for a fee, provided fraudsters with access to their bank accounts. Deflined citizens believe that they transfer money to “safe accounts” or, for example, to their friends, relatives, and other persons. In fact, their savings enter bank cards of completely strangers. During the investigation on such criminal cases, it is possible to establish the owners of these cards. The money of victims transferred to droppers is unjust enrichment. The law allows them to recover them from the owners of accounts and return to the victim-noted in the press service of the department.

Since the beginning of 2025 in Sevastopol, prosecutors have already presented 23 such claims for a total of 4.5 million rubles in court.

It should be noted that half of the defendants are youth under 23 years old. The youngest of them turned 15 years old, and in the end, now his parents will have to return more than 100 thousand rubles.

The prosecutor’s office of the city of Sevastopol warns: do not let unauthorized persons use your bank accounts.

Also, you should not agree to the proposals of strangers who convince you to transfer money to the so -called “safe score”. Real bank employees and law enforcement officials will never offer you to transfer your savings to a “safe account”.

Be careful!

Along with such a common fraudulent scheme as a “safe score”, all new ways to withdraw money from citizens by deception appear. In particular, under the pretext:

• holding accountable for financing terrorism;
• replacements of intercom;
• replacement of utility metering devices;
• investment activity;
• extending the validity of contracts for the provision of mobile services.

Fraudsters are submitted by law enforcement officers, employees of management companies.

In anticipation of the final state certification, Internet resources are increasingly used that offer students answers to USE questions, which in reality disseminate malicious software in order to obtain access to computer information from the victims and further theft of bank accounts.
