I forgot my card: Russians are bred next to ATMs

[Tomcat]

Russians are warned of a new fraudulent scheme that they may face near ATMs. Strictly speaking, this is more about extortion and blackmail, which is why the main targets for criminals are the elderly and women.

Imagine: you are standing in line at an ATM, a certain citizen is being served in front of you. When leaving, this person forgets to take his card from the receiver. As practice has shown, most often people take out someone else's card, since they themselves need to use the device.

A few minutes later, the person standing in front of you returns with the intention of picking up his card. You, of course, return it. And then the acting game begins: the fraudster allegedly checks the balance, "discovering" that 5, 10 or even 15 thousand rubles have just been withdrawn from his account.

At the same time, which is important, a certain witness appears from somewhere, confirming the words of a swindler playing a loss of money.

This is followed by the second act of the play: a citizen who has “lost” his funds threatened to call the police, at the same time intimidating the victim by leaving her fingerprints on the card. At the same time, the client is "processed" by two to three people.

Be vigilant, do not fall for provocation and in no case give your money to scammers. In this situation, you can demand to show the specific operation for which the indicated amount was withdrawn, or agree to call the police.
