I have repeatedly warned that there is a gang of frostbitten telephone scammers operating in Moscow who, posing as Sberbank employees, deceive gullible people with card details and withdraw money from them. It is possible that there are more than one such gang. And these scammers periodically change their tactics.
Recently, scammers have used another deceptive trick, thanks to which people themselves transfer money to their accounts. Presumably they call and notify Sberbank clients that someone is withdrawing money from their deposits and offer to protect their deposits from fraud. And for this you need to transfer them to a "secure account". I must say that the victims of all these degraded underpopulation are mainly elderly people and people with disabilities who do not know how to use the Sberbank-online service in order to immediately catch scammers in a lie.
More recently, a 64-year-old Muscovite pensioner became a victim of such telephone scammers, who transferred 3.4 million rubles to dubious accounts on their “advice”.
According to the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow, an unknown person called the pensioner, who introduced himself as a bank security officer. Under the pretext of saving money in a bank account, he learned the access codes from SMS messages, as well as the details of the victim's card. After that, he convinced the woman to transfer funds in several transactions from his bank card to unidentified accounts. The pensioner sent 3 million 400 thousand rubles to the scammers. Later, another 600 thousand were debited from this card.
Apparently, this pensioner was not a poor woman, but in general, those who are already the poorest segments of the population become victims of such scammers. Therefore, these moral monsters and premature thugs will face a cruel karmic retribution for their deception and fraud. Well, I advise all of you to once again warn your relatives, relatives and friends that they do not fall for the bait of scammers and do not give out either the data of their cards and accounts, or the codes received from SMS. It is best in this case to stop talking with the scammers and call back on the official phones of Sberbank, notifying the security service about the actions of telephone scammers.
