Scammers call people who have money stolen from their cards and promise to return it. In this case, the fraudsters are presented as a financial ombudsman. Cardholders do not receive any compensation, but on the contrary, they lose new amounts. Some sites reports on the new scheme of deception.
To gain confidence, the pseudo-ombudsmen invite the victims to visit their office. For meetings, they rent several rooms in large business centers.
At the meeting, the "financial and financial authorities" explain that it is quite possible to return the missing money, but you need to pay for their work and expenses. The scammers estimate their "services" at tens of thousands of rubles. But they assure that they will return all the money as soon as the dispute with the bank, which refuses to compensate the client for losses, is settled.
If the cardholder pays, then his communication with the “financial representative” ends there. The deceivers stop answering calls, and security guards do not let people into the business center.
In fact, the ombudsman resolves monetary disputes between financial institutions and their clients only after the consumer's request. Representatives of the Office of the Commissioner never offer their services to victims of fraudsters. In addition, the services of a financial ombudsman are free for people.
If someone contacts you on behalf of government agencies, banks, or other well-known entities, first make sure they are not a scammer. Find the organization's contacts on its official website, contact it and clarify the situation.
