Most often, criminals disguise themselves as bank employees before stealing money from your card. Here are some simple rules to help you avoid stealing money. "Compare.ru" on "Yandex.Zen".
1. Do not call the card number “bank employees”
Often fraudsters call under the guise of security officers of large banks, such as Sberbank or VTB, since most Russians have their cards. In a conversation they say that a suspicious money transfer has just been made and the operation needs to be blocked. To do this, you need to name the card number and password from SMS. This is enough to transfer all the money from your account.
2. Do not tell anyone the password from SMS
To enter some Internet banks, a phone number and password from SMS are used. A fraudster may call you with information about a suspicious transfer that was successfully blocked by the security service. But for the safety of the remaining amount, it must be transferred to the backup account. To do this, you need to inform the voice robot code from SMS.

3. Do not send back money
Fraudsters can send you a message with information about the transfer of money, and then inform you that the transfer was made by mistake, and return the sent amount or part of it back. Most likely, they did not send you money at all and disguised SMS fraudsters under the message of the bank.
4. Do not participate in paid surveys
You may receive a letter in the mail with an offer to participate in a paid survey of a well-known bank. When clicking on the link you will need to answer a few simple questions. At the end you will be informed of a large reward. But to get it, you first need to pay a commission or a fixed payment of several hundred rubles. After sending the money, no one will send you the promised amount.

In any social network, a friend or acquaintance may suddenly write to you, who will inform you that he is in a difficult situation and urgently needs money in debt. Ask to send to the card number. He will promise to return the money in a few days. Most likely, after this you will receive a message that the user's page was hacked by scammers.
