The criminals began to scare the victims with a criminal case in the event of a call to the bank for verification purposes, as well as to forge letters from the Central Bank and other departments.
Fraudsters have improved the old schemes with a reserve account, to which money must be transferred in order to "save" them, adding an element of intimidation of victims with criminal prosecution if they want to contact their bank and clarify the information themselves, said Evgenia , head of the Popular Front project "For the rights of borrowers" Lazarev.
First, the scammers call a potential victim, warning that they want to steal from the accounts all the money that needs to be transferred to a "temporary account" for protection, and then fake letters from banks and allegedly the Central Bank are sent to the user's mail, which indicate that the funds are safe.
The cybercriminals report that bank customers face liability "for the dissemination of information obtained in the course of routine maintenance." Such threats have become the main trump card in the actions of fraudsters.
Lazareva added that fraudsters fake not only letters from the Bank of Russia and certificates of the regulator's employees, but also the prosecutor's office, the Federal Bailiff Service, the Pension Fund and other authorities.
