Sberbank: Saying 'yes' Won't Let Scammers Steal Money
Sberbank's deputy chairman, Stanislav Kuznetsov, stated that saying 'yes' to a scammer does not allow access to funds, as the bank's authentication process is far more complex than a single word.
Consensus
- Saying 'yes' to a scammer is not sufficient for money theft according to Sberbank.
- Sberbank's authentication process involves multiple verification levels and is more complex than a simple 'yes'.
- The idea that saying 'yes' leads to theft is a myth, according to Sberbank's deputy chairman.
- Sberbank would not transfer funds even if a scammer uses a client's voice to say 'yes'.
- The statement was made by Sberbank's deputy chairman Stanislav Kuznetsov in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
Points of divergence
- Scammers are now offering users to subscribe to drone attack alert services via fake websites, then sending fake messages about a hack on the Gosuslugi portal and directing users to call a hotline to restore access. — vm
