Penza explained how to recognize the fraudster and protect their data

Any dialogue with a stranger who asks to hand over money, a plastic card, documents or data from his personal account should break down instantly. This was warned in the press center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

The law enforcement officers identified the main danger marker: if the interlocutor insists on actions requiring secrecy, or pushes to interfere in someone else’s property, you can not continue the conversation. Scammers often put pressure on the victim, but fulfilling their commands is strictly forbidden. If a person has already faced an onslaught, he should record all the evidence: screenshots of correspondence, phone numbers and other evidence. These materials should be reported to the police immediately.

Earlier, the department also explained the procedure for receiving a call about an allegedly issued loan. In such a situation, the first thing you need to do is to drop the call, and then contact the bank yourself to verify the information. If it turns out that fraudsters really issued a loan, you should immediately contact law enforcement agencies.
