It can be said that anyone who has a telephone has had the chance to talk to scammers.
The victim's status and the availability of savings do not matter. If necessary, experienced scammers will offer to take out a loan without leaving home, as long as there is something to transfer from the gullible subscriber's account.
Those who do not pay attention to crime reports and warnings from law enforcement officers should pay attention to the words and phrases that are most often used by scammers.
The Tulskaya Pressa publication, citing Sber experts, listed the stop words used by scammers.
In most cases, the call comes via phone and messenger.
Polite callers introduce themselves as employees of law enforcement agencies, banks and other organizations, even online stores.
Victims are obligingly asked to transfer funds to a “safe account” under a variety of pretexts.
When scammers want to access your phone, accounts or applications, they ask you to provide a code from a sent SMS message (usually after installing remote access applications).
Therefore, if you hear references to law enforcement agencies or banks, phrases such as “safe account” and “please provide the code from the SMS”, or a request to provide “card details” or passport information, you should stop communicating.
A relative innovation is a call from a supposed “telecommunications operator,” and “social workers” offer pensioners a pension recalculation over the phone.
In each of these cases, you can be sure that “the criminal is speaking to you.”
