Interior Ministry warned Volgograd residents of responsibility for dropper
If you transfer a bank card or access to it to outsiders for a fee, and it is involved in illegal financial transactions, this can lead to criminal liability.
The described practice is called droppery. It involves the participation of a person in schemes through which fraudsters transfer and cash stolen money. Account holders give their cards or access to them for a promised fee, and also perform transactions at the direction of outsiders.
The Interior Ministry noted that offers to quickly earn on the transfer of the card often look harmless. In fact, accounts and cards can be used to move money obtained by criminal means.
For the transfer of your card or access to it for illegal transactions out of vested interest, as well as for conducting such operations at the direction of someone else, you face a penalty of up to 3 years in prison. Those who purchase other people's cards for further transfer under illegal operations, the maximum term can be increased to 6 years. Depending on the nature of the crime, there are also large fines.
In addition, the perpetrator may be obliged to compensate the victims.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs advises not to transfer to outsiders bank cards, access details and the ability to use a banking application on someone else's device. You should be wary if you are asked to transfer, withdraw or cash money received from unknown people.
Police remind: before agreeing to dubious earnings, which are associated with bank transfers, you need to think about the consequences. The promised remuneration does not relieve the participant of the scheme of responsibility for illegal transactions.
