Russia - Lawyer warns of scammers pretending to be victims of scammers

Russia (bbabo.net), - Scammers come up with more schemes to profit from gullible citizens.

“You are amazed at the ingenuity of criminals, their knowledge of human psychology, their ability to play a whole performance and, as a result, break the criminal jackpot,” says Ivan Solovyov, Doctor of Law, Honored Lawyer of Russia. - Behind each such story is a human tragedy.

I have analyzed thousands of cases of telephone and online fraud that have occurred over the past year and a half. In this sad list, there are also stories of my parents who did not lose money just because they called me at the right time. There are stories of good friends who called after they transferred all the money and suspected something.

As the lawyer emphasizes, in all crimes and attempts to commit them, three things are surprising: this is the ease with which banks issue loans to elderly and clearly inadequate people who sometimes do not even let go of the handset (they are being led by scammers at this time). ); lack of effective mechanisms for law enforcement agencies to help victims of fraudsters; the persistence with which people fall for fraudulent schemes, despite numerous warnings.

I also noticed one more thing. More detailed stories of deception began to appear on social networks. It is not difficult to do this - open the Internet and write, and if you also add something from yourself, then a real exclusive will turn out. These stories really touch the soul - it's a pity for the victims who worked honestly all their lives and saved up some money, which in the end was fraudulently stolen. Their gullibility and how vilely the money was taken away is amazing. They cannot help but be hurt by their current suffering, when everything is over and the entire pension is spent on paying off a loan taken at the instigation of scammers.

But in many cases, one "but" began to appear. An account for transferring donations to such a victim. On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with helping the victim of a crime - it is noble and a plus in karma. In addition, banks and law enforcement officers here are really not yet of help to the Russians. But when checking several of these stories, rather strange things happened: the contact persons, on whose behalf or on whose pages the stories of deception were published, did not want to give the opportunity to communicate with the victim herself. Hence the reasonable question: was there a victim? Or is it another group of our very resourceful fellow citizens who decided to cash in on the victims of telephone fraud? It turns out fraud, warns Solovyov.

And he adds: any stories can cling and even encourage immediate charity, but before you click on the "transfer" button, make sure that you do not transfer your funds to the same scammers. But now they have a different story.
