It all began with the fact that the victim in one of the messengers received a message allegedly from his friend. He said that the school is selling bank cards and it must stop. The interlocutor also warned the comrade that soon representatives of the security service and law enforcement agencies will contact him and explain what to do.

Having received the first call, the trusting citizen began to communicate with “representatives of different services”. Strangers offered the victim to participate in the operation on detention, for which it was supposedly fictitious to buy a laptop on the ad site, allegedly, so that the payment by bank card would pass.
