12:06 Yet another fraud with cellular the older generation at gunpoint | |
The older generation, for which the development of new technologies and the inclusion in the digital environment is much more painful than the young, is at risk. No wonder our parents often fall victim to scams on the Internet and cellular networks, which is very insulting and causing rage. I beg habrolyudey excuse me if this information is not new (a quick search of this Habre not found) and this stuff is not quite in the format Habra, but I think it wrong to treat such cases care. So, my mother was a victim of fraud as follows: a person, call her cell, introduced a sonorous name, and commanding voice announced that its number be transferred to other equipment, ordered the state to find the balance and put an asterisk and a certain sequence of digits (* 145 - is the beginning of combinations to transfer money to the account of another subscriber), then - delete call and message of the operator and shut down the phone. Of course, money from the account have disappeared (well at least the amount was small). The requirement to remove the bell and all SMS instilled in my mother's suspicion, and she reported the incident to me, otherwise she would not even notice the loss of money. Of course, I advised her to report on what's happening cellular operator. Most likely, the scammer to target the database of subscribers, and picked phones elderly. I strongly advise everyone to instruct their parents and relatives and explain that any action relating to the maintenance on the side of the operator does not require the participation of the subscriber, and any communication with the subscriber is only through the official channels of communication operator, and certainly not a voice.
