Scammers can call Tomsk schoolchildren: a new scheme of deception

Then comes into play another fraudster, who is the investigator. He claims that the child urgently needs to describe the valuables in the apartment, so that they are not stolen. To do this, he requires a video call and show accommodation. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in this way schoolchildren can give the criminals the savings of their parents. What to do to protect the child: It is important to explain to him the basic rule: do not communicate with strangers, whoever they may be. Even if the caller seems to be a familiar person, it is worth exercising caution as modern technology allows scammers to fake voices. If a child encounters suspicious requests, such as naming a code from an SMS or turning on a video link to inspect an apartment, they should immediately stop the conversation and tell the parents about everything. You can always check the information coming from the school by calling the official number of the educational institution listed on its website. Earlier we talked about how in Tomsk attackers call, posing as a repair company of the house, claiming that they install new magnetic locks to all apartments.
