Quite often, scammers use the pretext that they are calling from law enforcement agencies.
Such people say that they are holding a relative in the department and offer to resolve the issue with money.
A fraudster can call any citizen to clarify personal information and with another request.
There is one phrase that will allow you to avoid an unpleasant conversation and check whether it is really a law enforcement officer calling.
What needs to be said
During the phone call, you can ask for the full name, rank, and office number where you can find this employee.
After this, you should express a desire to come to him yourself, so as not to clarify the issue over the phone.
In most cases, the scammer will end the conversation under some far-fetched pretext or simply hang up.
Sometimes scammers answer questions quite convincingly, and therefore it is important to insist on a personal meeting. Never transfer money to an account under the pretext of "hush up the matter."
