Anyone who wants can now safely talk to a scammer.
T-Bank has launched a fraud-roulette — a project where you can speak with real telephone scammers.
This will help you avoid falling for scammers’ tricks if you encounter them in everyday life, and also help protect other people from fraud: the longer you keep a scammer on the line, the fewer potential victims they can call in a day.
It works like this — when a scammer calls, T-Bank, together with T-Mobile and other telecom operators, identifies the call as fraudulent. The call is intercepted and redirected to a fraud-roulette participant. Everything is anonymous: the scammer does not know who they are talking to. They are convinced they are speaking with a potential victim who suspects nothing.
Participants in the project are aware that they are being called by scammers — every conversation begins with the warning “Attention, a fraud-roulette scammer is on the line.”
Anyone can take part in the fraud roulette; you don’t have to be a T-Bank customer.
The fraud roulette lets you prank scammers, study their deception methods, and protect other people’s money.
