As part of the new scheme, scammers contact victims and defraud them on behalf of their leaders under the pretext of saving them from criminal prosecution. In this respect reports Prime agency cited the press service of Sberbank.
Typically, attackers communicate with victims via Telegram. To do this, they create accounts whose design completely copies the profiles of real leaders of the people. They don’t write from a fake account, they call immediately and catch the other person off guard.
Then the “leader” informs the victim that he is now in the FSB and gives the phone to a certain security guard. The intelligence officer tells the person that they want to transfer his money to SBU accounts and accuses him of treason and espionage.
“At the same time, the victim was told that the boss gave the employee good advice so that the money could be saved by transferring it to a “safe account”,” Sberbank said.
If the victim succumbs to the fraudsters’ game, he voluntarily transfers the money to the “secure account” and loses access to the account forever.
