Prosecutors have recovered 1.5 billion rubles from fraudsters over the year
Over the past year, prosecutors sent more than 7 thousand lawsuits to the courts to recover Br1.5 billion from the owners of bank cards, which were used as an allegedly "safe" account for stolen funds. This was reported in the press service of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation on February 10.
It is specified that the number of cases of such fraud is growing annually. Thus, last year the number of affected persons increased by 15%. At the moment, 1.5 thousand claims totaling over Br190 million have been filed.
The official representative of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation Andrei Ivanov specified that fraudsters, using methods of psychological pressure, force Russians to follow links or install applications, as well as transfer money to supposedly safe accounts in order to "prevent theft of funds".
"Last year, the supervisory agency managed to recover 1.5 billion rubles on claims of co-owners of such "safe" accounts," Ivanov specified.
According to him, on the instructions of Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov, loan agreements concluded under the influence of misleading behavior are being challenged in courts. In addition, attention is also paid to cellular operators who do not block suspicious numbers and calls.
