Then Elena took out an online loan in her name and, according to the scammers, was supposed to cash out the funds and transfer them to the specified accounts. But near the ATM she met her friend, who convinced the woman that the scammers were calling and that she needed to urgently contact the police.

"When I called back to the duty station, the officer started shouting at me not to dare do anything and not to press any buttons. From his reaction, I realized that I was probably not the first and not all people were listening to this," said victim Elena Glushchenko.

The woman urged everyone not to be afraid to hang up when they call and say that it is necessary to stay in touch at all costs. She also stated that bank employees do not call and make such statements; only scammers commit such actions.



Sberbank told about the most common methods of fraudsters japan whatsapp number list and how to avoid being deceived by them.






You receive a call from a stranger who introduces himself as a "bank security officer" and his number is very similar to the bank's number. The fraudster then says that "the bank has detected a suspicious transaction" or that "the system has failed." The scammer asks you for full card details, a CVC code, a code from an SMS, or a password for Sberbank Online. He explains this as supposedly "preserving your money."

To protect yourself, you need to add the bank number 900 to your phone's address book. If the call comes from another number, it will be displayed on the phone screen as a combination of numbers different from 900. Under no circumstances should you perform any transactions based on the caller's instructions. The bank employee performs all card protection transactions themselves. If the callers turn out to be scammers, end the conversation immediately. The bank employee will never ask you for personal information. Check if there were any suspicious transactions during the conversation. If you managed to tell the scammers something, immediately call the bank at 900 and report what happened.
