The expert pointed to the increased involvement of people in fraudulent schemes.

In addition to fraudulent schemes, there is also a problem with involving people in criminal activities. This was announced on May 20 by Evgenia Lazareva, project manager of the All-Russian Popular Front for Borrowers' Rights, at the Izvestia News Center as part of a round table on "Protection against telephone and Internet fraud.": security strategies".

According to her, people between the ages of 14 and 61 are most often involved in fraud schemes.

In addition, there is another way to involve people in fraud — people are offered to install SIM boxes. About 30% of people have installed them, often thinking that such activities are legal.

Earlier, on May 15, Ksenia Nevzorova, a neurologist at the fifth neurological department of the Federal State Budgetary Budgetary Institution of the National Research Center, told Izvestia why older people tend to fall for scams more often. According to her, this is directly related to cognitive impairment. The fact is that age-related brain changes can reduce critical thinking and an adequate perception of reality.
