In the Sverdlovsk region, the detection rate of telephone fraud crimes has increased.
In the first four months of this year, phone scammers have swindled 1.2 billion rubles from residents of the Sverdlovsk region. Despite such gigantic sums, police officers note a significant decrease in the number of calls from scammers, which has dropped by 45%, and an increase in the detection rate of crimes from 9% to 58% over the past year.
The most popular legends during scam calls remain calls from banks and calls from law enforcement agencies.
At the same time, the number of crimes related to the purchase of vehicles online is on the rise. Police officers strongly recommend that before sending any money, you should visit the website of the company selling the cars and use other methods to verify the authenticity of the seller.
However, the issuance of loans to individuals has decreased significantly.
Law enforcement officers once again remind everyone to be cautious with their personal data and never to share codes sent via any messaging apps.
If you receive a message in messaging apps from a manager, colleague, or family member about transferring money, be sure to verify it through other communication channels—call or send a text message. Pay attention to the registration date of the interlocutor's account; a recent change of photo should also raise your suspicions.
