Almost 10,000 hryvnias disappeared from the card account of a 22-year-old resident of the Kremenets district. The young man gave the fraudster access to his card account.

To do this, he asked to confirm, select the settings, by pressing the number one when the bank's automated system called.

The young man did everything the scammer told him to do. However, within a few minutes, the citizen received a notification about the successfully completed transaction.
