"The victim received a phone call from a woman who introduced herself as an employee of a bank. She said that the woman had bonuses on a credit card, which could be transferred to money. Under this pretext the fraudster asked the victim to dictate bank details and codes from messages," the press-service of the regional department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia told PenzaNews.
