Phone scammers use voice robots to call bank customers to obtain information for transactions in the bank’s online application. About it reported in the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow.
“The attackers have come up with a new scheme of deception. Now, with the help of voice robots, they call up bank customers and, having gained confidence, entice information that allows them to perform transactions in the customer’s online bank, ”the message says.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs explained that a person calls an assistant robot from a bank and reports suspicious transactions that are being performed in the personal account of a bank client. This can be a transfer of funds, processing a loan, changing the phone number associated with your personal account. After that, the scammers ask to confirm the transactions. “In case of your refusal, a connection is made with a pseudo-employee of the bank’s security service, who in a conversation tries to get all the subscriber’s data,” the department stressed.
