Scammers offer to "rent" their bank cards to Russians for money. But this is complicity in a crime, warned the Department for Organizing the Fight Against Illegal Use of Information and Communication Technologies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
Scammers offer citizens to rent their bank cards or personal accounts (LC) of banks, promising high remuneration and imaginary "legal security." The pretext may be cryptocurrency transactions or other operations, but the card will be used for a one-time withdrawal of funds obtained by criminal means.
Law enforcement officers warn: the transfer of your banking data to third parties under any pretext is considered complicity in a crime.
Law enforcement officers remind: scammers never give security guarantees. If you give them access to your personal account, your accounts may be blocked, and you may be held criminally liable.
Analysts at Sberbank previously reported that in Russia about 2 million people participate in dropping schemes — they provide their bank accounts for transferring or withdrawing illegal money. Since 2023, from 8 to 12 million citizens could have been involved in such operations.
