Caution: telephone scammers

      In the prosecutor's office, they explained how phone scammers use fear and joy to deprive you of your money.

      A phone call. On the other end of the line is a polite voice. They rush you, pressure you, and don't give you a second to think. Remember - this is the main sign of a fraudster.

      Scammers use two key techniques - "carrot" and "stick." In the first case, they offer you a benefit: a prize, compensation, or a high-yield investment project. In the second, they scare you: "money is being withdrawn from your card," "a loan has been issued," "savings are at risk." The goal is the same - to make you act immediately.

      Experts emphasize: real bank employees and law enforcement work differently.

      If you have already transferred money or provided card details, remember, time is of the essence.

      Scammers rely on your confusion and fear. Calmness, a call to the bank using the official number, and a couple of minutes to think are the actions that will save your savings.
