Mobile phone fraud

[Агентство. PrivacyGuard.]

Good afternoon.

Yesterday, one girl suffered 100,000 rubles. Today they tried to “hurt” me.

The bottom line is as follows. An SMS of the type comes to the mobile number:
"BANK> An application for transfer from a card of 16,000 rubles has been accepted. Inf. 8-95-127-14-760"

The person on emotions calls back to the number indicated in the SMS (instead of the call center number of the bank). A vigorous young man answers there and introduces himself as an employee of the Financial Control Department. It confirms the fact of accepting an application for transfer from a card to Beeline. The man reports that he did not translate. An employee asks to go to the nearest ATM to conduct a payment cancellation transaction. After the person approached the ATM and called back, he was offered to find out the balance, and then enter the Beeline payment section and initiate the payment. Further, allegedly for conducting the cancellation operation, he suggests that you enter the cancellation code in the phone number field. This cancellation code is a phone number (only a person does not think about it, he wants to cancel the operation). Next, they are asked to enter a second cancellation code in the form of an amount. And confirm the operation. And so several times. I was finally bitten. : D Nevertheless, for information, I will give the phone numbers.

Call from number 8 951 271 47 60
and 8 963 005 38 36.
Transfers to the number 961 752 41 28.
Phones from the Kurgan region. Colleagues in the Kurgan region said that most likely convicts have fun.

Be carefull.

Good afternoon.

We called Beeline, informed the Old. They accepted, but without much enthusiasm ... But I'm afraid no one else is engaged. Perhaps according to the statement of the girl (about whom I wrote) the police will do something. But here I am not in the know.

By the way, another fraud option appeared here. They call, they say that you won something big. They ask to replenish their balance by a certain amount. Then, to confirm the operation, they ask to send a certain SMS. So this SMS seems to be an operation of transferring funds to another Beeline number.

So the recommendations are the same. Be carefull. And don't succumb to free cheese. : D

Types of telephone fraud used in Russia:

1. Call me back. In Japan, this is called wan-giri (“one call”).
The alleged victim of a fraud is called on a mobile phone and immediately dropped, without waiting for an answer. Of course, many people, purely out of curiosity, call back to the determined number, not suspecting that it is "paid".

This also includes deceptions offering any new operator services. For example, a contest like “Call this number and get $ 3 in your account”. They are calling. Sometimes they even really get the desired $ 3. True, the call itself costs $ 5-10.
Sometimes scammers even imitate call-center operators, phoning "their subscribers", agitating them to switch to a more favorable tariff. Why do you need to send SMS to a specific number, or buy a payment card to replenish your account.
2. A call from the radio
This method of cheating is still popular in the provinces. How many do not tell people how many do not publish in the media more and more new cases of this type of scam, but there are enough suckers as usual. Usually an SMS comes to the phone with a message about the won phone, laptop or even a car. Sometimes a joyful girl operator reports this.
It is further proposed, as usual, to send an SMS, call a specific number or buy a payment card to pay VAT.
3. St. Petersburg schemes
The birthplace of this fraud option is considered to be St. Petersburg. There he reached an unprecedented scale.
In the middle of the night, parents are called and informed that their daughter is in the police station. The daughter and her parents have not lived for a long time and they cannot reach her at such a late hour. At the same time, fraudsters offer options to quickly settle everything for a certain monetary compensation.
