Phone fraudsters pose as bank employees in order to extract data and steal money. But some people manage to figure them out. They do not hang up, but try to play deceivers in order to post the recording of the conversation on the network. Pravmir.ru has collected 10 such dialogues.
Attention! Bank crime investigators advise people to end the conversation at the first sign of a fraudulent call.
Do not tell anyone the full card details, CVV or CVC codes, SMS codes or passwords from Sberbank Online, including neither the interlocutor “from the bank” nor the robot.
Do you have doubts? Hang up and call the bank at the official number indicated on their website or in their official app.
