In the article we will analyze the most popular methods of modern fraud. They will allow you to “know the enemy by sight” and not fall for the provocation of intruders.
10. Trick number 10
By taking money at an ATM on the street, you risk more than doing the same operation at a bank branch. The fact is that fraudsters came up with a special device that can block access to the card. Imagine you put a card in an ATM, but you can’t remove it anymore. You start to panic and try to get it, but this is unsuccessful. A stranger approaches you and offers his help. You agree, and he will recognize your PIN code or see how you enter it. After the scammer says that he can do nothing. As a result, you both leave. After that, the fraudster returns and takes your card from the ATM. Now he has a card and a pin code. He can withdraw all your money.
9. Trick number 9
The developer offers you to buy an apartment in a house under construction or just invest your money in construction, motivating this by the fact that after building the house your invested funds will increase. You agree, other people agree to this, but, having collected enough money, the builder is hiding without completing the construction. Finding him with the missing money is no longer possible.
8. Trick number 8
At night, some attackers rent numbers from your car. They leave a note with a request to pay money so that they return the number to you. In this case, you need to urgently contact the police. Moreover, the sooner you contact the police - the better. Know that with your numbers, criminals can commit a crime by substituting you. In no case should you make contact with scammers.
7. Trick number 7
Quite often, scammers go to apartments, pretending to be employees of certain enterprises offering their services. For example, sellers of insanely expensive and useless filters, which, in fact, are not even needed, can get into your apartment. But with the help of fraud and a number of tricks, sellers convince you that their filters are the best. As a result, you buy a filter for a lot of money, and after a couple of days you find that you have been "bred", but you no longer have the opportunity to return your money.
6. Trick number 6
And again, another situation with intruders who go home. Some people who pretend to be a gas service get into your apartment. They offer you to buy the latest device, without which you can not do, because this device must be in the apartment of everyone according to the law. And you have to agree to purchase such a device for a large amount of money. You pay scammers for the necessary device, and after a few days you realize that in fact, there is no new law and no obligatory purchase of the device.
5. Trick number 5
It may seem strange, but counterfeiters are still found. Moreover, forged, as a rule, banknotes of small denomination. Such bills fraudsters pay for travel, for purchases in small stores where there is no special equipment for checking money. If on the street a stranger asks you to exchange money, then it is worth considering.
4. Trick number 4
You constantly rent a house and somehow stumble upon an advertisement for renting a comfortable apartment at an attractive price. Call the owner of the apartment and discuss the details. Everything suits you, and you want to go see the apartment, but the owner says that you need to make an advance payment of several thousand rubles, because besides you he has many people who want to move in. You transfer money, and after just a couple of minutes, the owner of the apartment with whom you spoke no longer gets in touch. You come to the place indicated in the announcement and understand that such an apartment does not exist there. Or completely different people live in it. Turns out you came across a scammer.
3. Trick number 3
You have placed on the Internet a few ads for the sale of something. Once a scammer calls you and says that he really liked what you are selling and he is ready to transfer money to your card as collateral to buy your item in a couple of days. You give him your card number, and he asks you to name all other information from the card by fraudulent means, supposedly in order to pay you. Sometimes joyful people give information, so all means are removed from their cards.
2. Trick number 2
Another tricky plan is carried out by cybercriminals using an ATM. These people seal the cash dispensing window using double-sided tape and a strip, which in color resembles the color of an ATM. People who approach the ATM try to withdraw cash, but they fail. As a result, they leave, and then scammers appear who get all the savings of naive citizens. Therefore, if the ATM wrote off the funds, but did not give them out, this is an occasion to take a closer look at it and contact the support service to help you resolve the situation.
1. Trick number 1
This trick appeared not so long ago, however, it is very common. A person receives a message on his phone saying that as a result of any reason (reasons are usually not indicated), his card is blocked and you need to call back by number to reactivate the card. A man in a panic calls the specified number and reports all the information about the card. As a result, scammers leave him with nothing. In order not to be left without money, you are advised to call only on the official phone number of your bank. The staff will advise you and will not require secret information that only you can know.
