How to protect yourself from telephone fraud

In order not to become a victim of phone scammers, keep calm and do not transfer money to anyone.

Never read all payment details, code word at the bank and especially CVV code over the phone.

Be careful if someone tells you about a “random” raffle win.

Popular telephone fraud schemes:

An attacker can call himself an employee of your telephone operator and ask you to dial a certain combination of numbers on the phone. The reason can be anything from turning off an accidentally connected service to checking the quality of the connection.
In fact, you are asked to enter a combination that means transferring money to another phone number.

Also with the aim of illegally taking citizens' money, criminals report false information over the phone about an event with the participation of a relative or acquaintance — got into an accident, was detained by the police, is in the hospital, etc.

In order to provide assistance or solve a problem, it is required to quickly transfer money or hand it over to the person who should come for it.

In no case do not comply with the demands of strangers, stop communication immediately and call a relative.

Friends, remember to report all suspicious calls and fraudulent actions by unknown persons to the police by calling 102.
