The Russians were told about the actions when receiving money from an unknown person on the card.

The receipt of funds from an unknown sender to the account may indicate a fraudulent scheme. This was announced on March 10 in the press service of the Department for the organization of the fight against the illegal use of information and communication technologies (UBK) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

It is noted that it is necessary to check the account data, as well as make sure that the funds have been transferred to it, then check the balance through the mobile application to prevent false information about replenishment.

In addition, the agency recommended contacting your bank for subsequent registration of the application and verification.

At the same time, before clarifying the circumstances, it is not worth spending money so that it is not regarded as unjustified enrichment, which entails a full refund of the amount and possible legal costs. Also, if the sender requests a refund to the account, this may also be part of the fraud, the Interior Ministry added.
