According to Ignatov, the likelihood that a law-abiding citizen will receive a call from the police to clarify his personal data is extremely small.

“You need to ask your surname, name, title, position, office phone number and office number.

After that, scammers usually turn off the conversation, ”he advised.

He said that in a telephone conversation, fraudsters often introduce themselves as district police officers, operatives and investigators.

In this case, Ignatov recommended asking the caller to send an official summons.

Earlier, the head of the analytical center Zecurion Vladimir Ulyanov assessed the situation with telephone fraud in Russia.
