Previously, Russians complained that they were denied opening bank accounts in Türkiye. And there were even cases of closing existing accounts.
Then the scammers began to actively offer their “servants”, promising a 100% guarantee.
“Criminals lure citizens of the Russian Federation by promising them an easy way to open an account without a residence permit or the right to work. We urge them to be vigilant,” said an employee of a credit institution.
According to him, if you have the necessary documents, you can open an account in both private and state banks.
“Unfortunately, there are still problems with bank transfers from Russia to Turkey,” added a source at the financial institution.
