The expert spoke about the most effective way to protect against fraudsters.

In order to protect yourself from scammers most effectively, you should not answer a call from an unknown phone number. This was announced on March 13 by Sergey Zolotukhin, an expert at F6.

"The simplest and most effective security rule is not to answer calls that you are not expecting. So the scammers will definitely not be able to reach you," he said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to the expert, scammers often try to intimidate the victim. He noted that feelings of fear and panic are sure signs of manipulation. Zolotukhin recommended immediately ending a phone conversation if threats or pressure appear in it.

He added that emotions act faster than logic, and attackers take advantage of this. Scammers try not to give people time to assess the situation.
