At a meeting with representatives of law enforcement, alarming statistics were heard.
– The activation is evident: since the beginning of the year, almost 700 inhabitants of our republic have been victims of scammers. Damage amounted to more than 300 million rubles. Can you imagine what these amounts mean for your budget? Artem Zdunov asked a question. – By the way, yesterday they called me twice: from the “Ryazan division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs”, from another place… Okay, sometimes the phone immediately indicates that it is spam, but one call was marked as probably useful. And after all, someone picks up the phone, someone believes! I am concerned that among the deceived citizens are mainly social workers (many doctors, teachers, nurses) and unprotected sectors of the population. People give almost the last money.
The head of the region stated that cybercrime continues to be a serious threat to social stability and the well-being of citizens.
On his Telegram channel, Artem Zdunov recalled the security rules: “If they call you from an unknown number and talk to you about money: immediately stop the communication, block the number from which the call came.” In addition, the head of the republic recommended subscribing to the regional channel, which tells in detail about the methods of protecting funds and personal data.
