Russians told about new fraud scheme with a prize for opinion
Several dozen Russians have already become victims of this fraudulent scheme.
Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank Stanislav Kuznetsov spoke about it in more detail.
Potential victims are contacted by phone and asked to evaluate the work of the restaurant employees, RIA Novosti reports.
Allegedly, if a person's opinion is accepted, he will receive a cash prize for it. They promise to transfer 300 rubles, sometimes 500.
In reality, there will be no prize. The scammers will simply extract personal information or gain access to the victim's money.
Kuznetsov noted that several dozen such cases have already been registered in Russia.
In his opinion, people are bribed by the possibility of easy money. With such a prospect, they become more accommodating and begin to reveal sensitive information.
And the scheme itself looks quite harmless, there are no usual "law enforcement officers" and "bank employees", "safe accounts". A person is simply asked to express an opinion and promised money for it.
