The Yalta police note:
Cases of remote fraud continue to be reported in the city. Attackers often resort to various cunning methods of deceiving gullible citizens, acting according to both old and newly invented schemes. In order to combat these crimes, the Yalta police reminds that real employees of the government portal, as well as representatives of banks, mobile operators, special employees. services and law enforcement agencies never ask for an SMS code over the phone. The above officials do not conduct interrogations over the telephone, nor do they require any money transfers to “reserve” or “safe” accounts under the pretext of preventing theft of money or preventing illegal lending. Only scammers who want to steal your savings apply the above requirements.
Despite the fact that criminals have some knowledge of the relevant professional terminology, often address the potential victim by name and patronymic, may use the logo of the relevant institution, send a scanned copy of a fake ID and a photograph of a person in uniform, when receiving such calls you must remain calm and prudence. To avoid being subject to psychological manipulation by scammers, you should immediately interrupt the conversation with a stranger and call the police on 102, where citizens’ messages are accepted around the clock.
