Fraudsters have started calling Russians and advising them to withdraw money from their bank accounts. They persuade their victims to keep the funds at home, as reported by the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
The fraudsters claim that this needs to be done for security purposes. If a bank employee asks what the funds are needed for, the fraudsters recommend answering that it is for household needs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia reminds that you should not discuss financial matters with strangers.
From September 1, 2025, banks that have issued a payment card to a client are required to check when issuing cash through ATMs whether the person is acting under the influence of fraudsters. If suspicions are confirmed, the credit institution restricts the withdrawal of funds for 48 hours.
The client can receive no more than 50,000 rubles per day. But if he personally applies to the cash desk and presents an identity document, he will not be denied the issuance of the entire amount.
