Russians warned of new type of phone scam 11:02

Russians began to receive calls from scammers using Georgian numbers with the code 995. RT said Ivan Solovyov, the honored lawyer of Russia. According to him, this was done on purpose so that the person would be confused and think they were calling from a Russian mobile phone with the code 985.

“There is only one reason: the caller introduces himself as an employee of the Ministry of Interior. After leading questions, he explains that the unit is from the Moscow region. He can not reveal anything about the location of the unit and the head, but claims that you are controlled under article 327 of the Criminal Code of Russia. For example, some people accuse you of forging a power of attorney and stealing money from someone else’s account, ”Soloviev explained.

After that, criminals offer the victim to check whether the stolen money enters their bank account, deceive confidential data and steal money. As the lawyer puts it, “there are new reasons in the old plan.”

To protect yourself from scammers, you should remember that law enforcement never resolves issues with citizens over the phone. If they need to find something or interrogate a person, they will invite him to their station and prepare everything about protocol established by law.
