Ministry of Internal Affairs: Transferring more than 200,000 rubles to oneself may raise suspicions of fraud. The Central Bank of Russia highlights signs used to detect such fraud: withdrawing cash within 24 hours after a loan is issued and changing the phone number for internet banking authorization.
Consensus
- Transferring more than 200,000 rubles to oneself via the Fast Payments System (SBP) is considered a sign of potential fraud by banks.
- Cash withdrawals within 24 hours after loan approval are considered suspicious behavior.
- Changing the phone number used for internet banking authorization is one of the indicators of possible fraud.
- Unusual timing, atypical amounts, or remote locations during cash withdrawal are seen as red flags.
- Requests to withdraw funds through an unusual method for a client are considered suspicious.
- Changes in phone characteristics used for withdrawals and presence of malware on devices are included in fraud detection markers.
- Five or more failed withdrawal attempts in one day are also flagged as suspicious.
Points of divergence
- On July 1, the MVD's UBK reported that fraudsters increasingly use two-stage phone scams based on social engineering, involving a first call with a harmless pretext and a second call posing as law enforcement using the SMS code to gain trust. — vedomosti
- Liana Kadýrova, an expert, warned that if fraudsters access 'Gosuslugi', users should immediately change their password and check for profile changes. — vm
