The Central Bank of Russia has announced the introduction of a new restriction on money transfers. From May 15, citizens will be able to send no more than 100,000 rubles per month if they are on the list of droppers – people who help fraudsters withdraw stolen funds.
Anyone can end up among the droppers, even if they have nothing to do with it. To avoid trouble and not fall under the new limit, experts recommend following a few simple rules.
Firstly, you should not give your bank card to strangers. Secondly, you should not transfer money at the request of strangers, even if they approach you at an ATM. Thirdly, be careful with transfers if strangers "accidentally" sent you money.
These measures are designed to protect citizens from fraudulent schemes and preserve their financial security. The innovation comes into force tomorrow, and it is important to be careful not to fall victim to fraudsters.
