It is noted that fraudsters use the teamviewer program to connect to a client’s smartphone and perform transactions on his behalf.
According to Lifshitz, this type of fraud is not new.
“Everything is also built on more and more social engineering, on the fact that customers trust calls from the bank. The fraudster has minimal information about the client, so the client often believes, ”he said.
The expert recommended users not to listen to such messages.
“The bank does not call the client, all the banks have repeatedly talked about this, moreover, it does not ask for the transfer of any data and to take any action. All these types of fraud are based, first of all, on the credulity of citizens, ”concluded Lifshits.
Earlier, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported that fraudsters use a new type of telephone deception under the guise of representatives of Russian banks to debit funds from customers' accounts.
