Volgograd residents reminded the main rule of protection from phone fraudsters

The department noted that attackers use a variety of schemes of deception, but the universal method of protection is the same: immediately put the phone down.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs paid special attention to teenagers – they often get into difficult situations and are afraid to seek help, believing that there is no way back. But that's not true. The Ministry recalled Article 31 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Voluntary renunciation of a crime” – it releases from criminal liability if a person voluntarily stopped criminal actions before they were completed. More about this is described on the website.

The Interior Ministry stressed that by engaging with criminals, you can always stop – and the law takes this into account.
