Dniprom Police Warns: Scammers Demand Card Codes Under the Guise of Banking

Warning from Dnipro Police

The Dnipro police warns about the increase in phone scams where scammers impersonate employees of financial institutions and try to extract personal data from citizens. The criminals call people, talking about 'suspicious transactions' or 'attempted withdrawals of funds'. During the conversation, they demand that victims provide their PIN code, CVV code, one-time passwords, or even transfer money.

The law enforcement officers emphasize that real bank employees never ask for confidential codes over the phone. It is important to remember that banks do not urgently require fund transfers. If someone demands to provide account details or perform actions under pressure, the conversation should be immediately terminated. In case of doubt, one should call only the official bank number indicated on the card.

Call for Caution

The police urge citizens to be careful and attentive, and in case of fraud detection, recommend calling the number 102. This will help prevent potential financial losses and ensure the security of personal data.

The rise in phone scams is a troubling sign for society, as scammers are constantly improving their methods to deceive people. In this situation, it is important for citizens to be aware and cautious, not to succumb to manipulation, and to know how to act correctly if approached with similar requests. An informational campaign explaining the risks can help prevent fraud and maintain the financial security of the population.
