Do you know what the “top” phrase of scammers is that has a great effect on a potential “victim”? It is simple and many have already heard it when answering an incoming call from an unknown number. It sounds like this: “Suspicious activity has been recorded on your bank account, indicating the work of fraudsters.”

The most interesting thing is that the overwhelming number of people have this bank account, and honestly earned money is stored in it. And when a person hears that this money is in danger, vigilance disappears somewhere. It’s as if a person is under hypnosis and begins to believe the scammers. And then all that remains for the attackers is to implement their scheme and take possession of other people’s money.

To avoid becoming victims of telephone scammers, you need to follow a simple rule. No contact with unknown persons who call your number and try to engage in dialogue about your bank accounts. For all questions about banking operations on your account, please contact the bank where the account is opened. Real bank employees will not call the client and report suspicious activity on your account. Monitor this activity yourself, all banks have mobile applications, the entire history of cash flows is displayed there.
