According to RIA Novosti, referring to a letter from a Russian bank, most often attackers steal money, thanks to the confidential information obtained from their victims. To do this, they call allegedly on behalf of the security service of a credit institution, buyers from the free classified ads website and employees of a brokerage or dealer company.
So, for example, trying on the role of a security employee, a fraudster reports about allegedly suspicious transactions on the card and asks for her data, security code on the back of the card, code from SMS or passwords from a banking application.
“For persuasiveness (an attacker. - RT ) can say that it includes a robot program, that only a robotic system can report data. In addition, he may offer to transfer money to a “secure account” of a personal manager, ”the message says.
Sberbank notes that you should not perform any operations according to the instructions of strangers or provide confidential information about your card, and when communicating with suspicious representatives of unknown companies, it is recommended that you check all the necessary licenses, as well as the details for transferring funds.
At the same time, the bank emphasized that the financial institution does not conduct surveys for remuneration, therefore, paid online surveys, allegedly on behalf of the bank, are also a fraudulent scheme.
Earlier, a psychologist, physiognomist Svetlana Filatova, in an interview with NSN, commented on a new method of fraud with bank cards, when attackers allegedly forget the card in the ATM machine, after which they tell the person who removed it that the amount was debited from the account.
