A resident of Cherepovets born in 1980 reported to the law enforcement agencies about the fact of remote fraud.

According to the man, unknown people called him and said that someone was trying to take out a loan in his name. In order to prevent the loss of funds, the account of the Cherepovets resident will be blocked, therefore, all the money must first be withdrawn from it and transferred to a reserve account. The man believed and thus gave the scammers 238 thousand rubles.

Residents of the region are urged not to trust the calls from the “bank”. No bank or civil servant will be interested in the data of personal accounts, as well as requesting pin codes. To check such calls, you just need to call the bank back.
