Expert explains why Russians fall for scammers' schemes
An expert named the reasons why fraudsters’ deception schemes almost always work.
Private investor Fedor Sidorov shared a comment on this topic.
In an interview with RT , he explained that people trust government officials or are simply afraid of them, so they follow the instructions of a stranger calling them.
Fraudsters see this and understand it, so they actively invent stories about the police, the FSB, the Central Bank and other federal law enforcement and financial structures.
The second important tool is even more psychological. The idea is to make a person act impulsively and not assess the situation very sensibly.
As a result, people don’t even have time to doubt it before the money ends up in the fraudsters’ accounts.
It is possible to protect yourself from fraudsters, but first and foremost, this is the responsibility of the person himself.
First of all, you should not disclose passwords, logins, passport details and other information to strangers that could help attackers.
It is also important to remember that bank and police officers will never ask you to provide them with such information.
