Telephone scammers offer victims to take out a car loan if the bank refuses a consumer loan. This was reported by law enforcement agencies, citing materials received from detained scammers.
First, the fraudsters prepare the victim for the fact that they may be denied a consumer loan. But they say that a person can get a car loan for the same amount.
For persuasiveness, let her say that she called the bank's contact center in advance and clarified this issue, to which she was given consent.
To protect Russians from the actions of intruders on the Internet, a new service "Life Situation" has appeared on the "Gosuslugi" portal. It was developed for people who have already encountered intruders online, as well as for those who want to improve their digital literacy and learn how to avoid contact with cybercriminals.
The service provides for measures to protect against intruders. Many of them are available on the "Gosuslugi" portal: you can set a self-ban on loans, check your credit history, find out about registered SIM cards, get information about suspicious calls and file a complaint about malicious resources. In addition, we explain in detail how to act if you accidentally told intruders your password, and give other recommendations that will help you avoid falling into their traps.
On the portal, the user will be able to find a catalog of the most common fraud schemes. This will help to quickly learn about new threats. The service will also tell you where to go when meeting with cybercriminals. For example, on an interactive map, you can find the nearest MFC offices.
A new set of measures to combat fraud is being developed. It includes more than ten initiatives, such as regulating the use of bank cards, controlling real estate transactions, tightening responsibility for the use of AI in illegal activities, and combating the illegal trafficking of SIM cards. As it became known, a function for submitting applications for fraud will appear on "Gosuslugi".
