Scammers often try to isolate their victims from other people, asking them to move to a separate room for a quiet conversation. They may even say: "If someone enters the room, please tell them, and I will call you back in 10 minutes. Don't talk to anyone."

Ivanov stated that attackers may refer to non-existent articles of the Criminal Code, threatening the victim.

Scammers use constant pressure, communicate in a confident voice. Unprepared people can succumb to this.
