Fraudsters do not sleep and especially try during the holidays. This is understandable, because people who are busy preparing for the holidays are less concerned about their own safety. Villains now do not need to call, all over the Internet. The only protection against fraudsters is to immediately realize that you are facing a crook.

I consider myself advanced because I was able to master the computer and actively use the phone. Like most active users, I have a page on all popular social networks. I lead a full and dynamic life on the Internet.

And in the videos and photos, in the notifications, I see a message from a friend. We probably haven't cheated on her for a year or two. I just recently had a birthday, on the nose of the New Year, I was happy, because for a long time no news from her. She asked me for my phone number.



Of course, I sent it, it's clear that the person wants to call and ask everything. I already took the phone to answer the phone, but she asked me to send her the code that will come to the phone, and a little later she will call me and explain everything.

I, a kind and trusting soul, sent it. I immediately received a message that my pages had suspicious activity and were blocked. I tried to call my husband, but there was no money in my account. There wasn’t much, maybe a couple of hundred.

Then I was already scared, because I realized that I ran into scammers. She seemed so smart. I began to call in support of the bank, where I have cards and deposits, there, thank God, for free. She asked me to block it until I figured out what happened.



More. Scammers began to send messages from my pages, which were not blocked, on my behalf. With the same option, send the code and everything. Later, my younger daughter called, she lives in another city, and asked me what kind of card I need to transfer money to.

And then friends, employees. Thank God no one recklessly sent money and codes, good thing I got a call. She told everyone she was a victim of fraud. It was easy, but the money from the phone was gone. I'm waiting for my grandkids to rebuild. Then I'll unlock the map. This is what my New Year holidays are like.”

We remind you that now phone numberThe document you use is the second proof of identity. Therefore, never send any codes to anyone and, unnecessarily, do not tell anyone the number itself.
