MOSCOW, June 8 - RIA Novosti. Telephone scammers are convincing their victims to take out a car loan for the same amount if bank employees refuse to issue a consumer loan, law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti, citing materials received from detained scammers. "It is necessary to prepare the victim for the fact that they may be refused a consumer loan. In this case, they will need to convince the bank employee that they have the right to apply for a car loan for the same amount. To be convincing, let them say that they called the bank's contact center in advance and clarified this issue, to which they gave their consent," the instructions say. To protect Russians from scammers, a new service, "life situation," has been launched on "Gosuslugi." It is intended for both those who have already encountered scammers online and for users who want to improve their digital literacy and protect themselves from interactions with cybercriminals. The service has a set of measures to protect against scammers. Among them are those that are available on "Gosuslugi": self-prohibition of loans, the ability to check your credit history, issued SIM cards, information about a suspicious call and file a complaint about a malicious resource. Also, special attention is paid to instructions on how to act, for example, if a citizen told scammers a password, and other recommendations that will help you avoid falling for the schemes of intruders. Within the framework of this "life situation", the user of the portal will be able to use a catalog of the most common fraud schemes - this way he will quickly learn information about new threats. The service will tell you where to go if you encounter cybercriminals: in particular, on the interactive map, a citizen will be able to find the nearest MFC branches.
