A woman from Yekaterinburg was targeted with attempts to have loans totaling hundreds of thousands of rubles taken out in her name after a visit to "Megapolis."

A woman from Yekaterinburg was targeted with attempts to have loans totaling hundreds of thousands of rubles taken out in her name after a visit to "Megapolis."

      In Yekaterinburg, in the Megapolis shopping center, there is a small blue counter. Next to it stand young men who approach mall visitors and offer to issue a bonus card. But this can end badly for those who agree.

      Yekaterinburg resident Darya told the E1.RU portal that the men ask for a phone number and passport details. They are also interested in place of work or study and place of residence.

      "They start talking you up, misleading you. Then they photograph you and say that everything is safe and that you'll get a nice bonus on the card. They get a bonus from this too," the woman clarified.

      Then the young men ask whether you have a self-imposed credit ban. If you say you do, they refuse the "bonus" and let you go.

      "Afterwards I received a notification that, thanks to the self-ban, a loan had not been approved for me. That's when we realized that they had wanted to take out a loan in our name; we didn't notice the name on the counter — 'Kredit Ru'," the Yekaterinburg resident added.

      Darya requested her credit history. She saw that several loans had been attempted to be placed on her: twice for 118,828 rubles and once for 100,000 rubles.

      The police reminded people not to give personal data to strangers and not to enter into any deals with dubious organizations.

      Earlier it was reported that scammers are depriving Russians of money under the guise of part-time work.
