Do not transfer your money to other accounts through fake phone calls made on behalf of law enforcement agencies. This is being urged by the Cyber Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
“Recently, cases of fraud have become frequent, when unknown persons call or send messages (via WhatsApp, Viber and other platforms) pretending to be employees of the National Security Service, the Central Bank or various banks. Under various pretexts, they try to convince you to withdraw money from your bank accounts and transfer them to the accounts provided by them, often also in the form of crypto-assets.
Do not trust such calls or messages. If you receive such a call, immediately stop the conversation and contact the police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Remember, no government agency or bank ever requires you to transfer your money to other accounts by phone. Vigilance is your best defense,” the message reads.
