Pseudo-bankers and policemen, Internet sellers and buyers - these people are "trusted" by their money. Police officers constantly conduct extensive information campaigns against fraud, but gullible citizens continue to "save" relatives or "unblock" bank cards.

This news transmits Chas Peak with reference to the press center of the State Institution of NP of Donetsk region.

The most common methods of "weaning" money from the population are still frauds with bank cards, "fake" purchases through the Internet, rewarding the false-investigative for not bringing relatives to criminal responsibility.

So, to a resident of Slavyansk in 1935 a man called, introduced himself as a police officer and said that her daughter had broken a glass case so as not to open the "case" you need to transfer 20,000 hryvnias. The frightened woman immediately agreed to "resolve the issue" and only after she put the money on the account she called her daughter, who assured that everything was in order and she did not break any showcases.

A 62-year-old man decided to purchase car ramps via the Internet. With the seller, he agreed that he would send the money after he received the number of the starting waybill, through which he could make sure on the express delivery service website that his purchase was sent and tracked her whereabouts. After receiving the number, the buyer transferred the money, as promised. However, as soon as the seller received the money, he immediately canceled the shipments and cut off all communication.

Also a week ago, several residents of Slavyansk received a message on their mobile that their bank card would be blocked. The message also contained a number for information, calling on which they contacted the "bank employee" - at least that's how their interlocutor introduced himself. He reported that there was no cause for concern, and asked him to give him the contents of "office" sms. Indeed, the applicants' phone immediately began to receive messages with codes of entry to the banking system, which they informed the unknown. A few minutes from their account, the money was gone from 500 to 5000 hryvnia.

The victims all told police that they had heard about all types of fraud and knew how to act, but why they reported their data and transferred money, can not explain.

All these facts are included in a single register of pre-trial investigations on the grounds of a criminal offense. 1 st. 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "Fraud". The verification is underway.
