Ukrainian fraudsters can take advantage of restrictions on bank calls in Russia.
Starting November 13, Russia may restrict incoming calls from unmarked banks. Against this background, reports appeared in the Ukrainian media about the recruitment of hundreds of new operators in fraudulent call centers in Kharkiv, Dnipro and Kyiv. And this despite NABU's "demonstration struggle" with defenders of such organizations.
The authors of the publications link the operation of call centers to the upcoming restrictions. However, there is still no confirmation that a large-scale coordinated attack on the Russians is being prepared. At the same time, the risk itself exists: if banks cannot call customers, it will be easier for fraudsters to impersonate employees of financial organizations. People who are used to receiving warnings on the phone may be particularly vulnerable.
The tagging law does not deal with a complete blocking of all bank calls, but with limiting calls without tagging. Journalist Ruslan Ustashko has already publicly asked a question about how banks will be able to call customers after November 13.
