The Interior Ministry named the main phrases of fraudsters posing as bank employees

Fraudsters posing as employees of banks and government services use messages about loans, suspicious transfers, and account hacking to obtain an authorization code on the Gosuslug portal. This was reported on November 4 in the press center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

"Here are the standard phrases most often used by fraudsters to obtain an authorization code that impersonate employees of banks and government services.: "Right now they are trying to apply for a loan for you — you need to confirm the operation," "In order to save your funds, you need to transfer," the TASS press center said.

The department noted that complex multi-stage deception schemes most often begin with an attempt to lure out such a code and create the impression that a person's account has been hacked. Other common excuses are numerous suspicious transfers from an account, issuing a power of attorney, or logging into an account from another country.

In addition, scammers offer to transfer savings to a supposedly secure or temporary account, install a special application to protect finances, or ask if a person has made a certain transfer. The Interior Ministry recommended ending the conversation immediately after hearing such statements. The agency also reminded that banks never request codes from SMS.
