Your card is blocked

[Адвокат]

Attention! A new type of telephone fraud!

Fraudsters invented a new deception scheme with which they steal money from citizens' bank cards.

A subscriber receives a message on the subscriber’s cell phone that his bank card is blocked and he is invited to call a certain number for free to receive detailed information.

When the cardholder calls the specified phone number, he is informed that a failure has occurred on the server responsible for the card service, and then they are asked to provide the card number and PIN code for re-registering it.

Having received the details of a plastic card, the attackers transfer funds to their phone, and then withdraw them from the account.

take your time to give your card details! The vast majority of such fraud is carried out by prisoners serving sentences in correctional labor institutions!

No organization, including a bank, has the right to demand the data of your plastic card! In order to check the information received about blocking the card, you need to call the customer support service of the bank. Most likely, they will answer you that there were no failures on the server, and your card continues to be serviced by the bank.

Your card is blocked. Option 2

The first victims of scammers of a new type were residents of one of the northern cities. Four citizens turned to the police on call after large sums of money disappeared from their bank accounts. Law enforcement officers immediately transgressed to verify information and search for intruders.

“In all four cases, SMS messages were sent to the mobile numbers of the victims warning about the possible blocking of the bank account and indicating the phone number by which they could apply for additional information. Citizens' calls were answered by scammers who introduced themselves as employees of a single banking system. They talked about a failure in the system and offered their “customers” two ways to solve the problem: write a statement at the Moscow head office or solve everything on the spot. The second option involved sending a password with the numbers 9999 to the service box, ”the press service of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Tyumen Region said.

Clients fell for the “bait” of swindlers and chose the simplest and fastest way to solve the problem. Ultimately, the “Service box” turned out to be the mobile phone number of fraudsters, and 9999 is the amount of money that was debited from the account of deceived citizens.

To date, one similar case has been recorded in the south of the Tyumen region. The victim of scammers was a woman who had stolen about 90 thousand rubles.

Law enforcement agencies urge residents of the region to verify the information received by them, regardless of the source of information (mobile communications, Internet, etc.). You can check it by calling the appropriate official financial institutions.
