Today it's hard to imagine life without mobile phone: it is not only used as a communication between people, but is gradually turning into a tool for conducting various banking operations. For their implementation, a whole system of short messages is provided, the convenience of which can be appreciated by anyone.

Messages and calls on behalf of Sberbank employees and security services in order to extort money.

Sberbank cardholders often receive SMS from 900, asking them to make a transfer to a card, pay a debt, or provide personal data. Fraudsters make such mailings with one goal - to gain access to bank account trusting citizens. In this article, we will look at the main fraud schemes from the number 900.

Money will be debited from the card

The first fraud scheme is as follows: an SMS message from the number 900 comes to the phone. The text of the message says that a certain amount will be transferred from a bank card. To cancel this action, you need to send an SMS with the number "1" or another code to this number. If the rejection message is not sent, the bank will automatically transfer the money after 600 seconds.

At this moment, the owner of the bank card begins to panic, because he did not make any money transfer. Fraudsters also know about this, so the next step of the “divorce” is a call from the “security officer” of Sberbank. The attacker reports that suspicious transactions have been detected on the bank card. In order not to become a victim of fraud and not lose your money, you need to provide the code from the SMS.

When the victim says the code, the imaginary bank employee will ask you to stay on the line and wait for the response of the technical service operator. Time passes, but the technical support operator does not call back. At this time, scammers are already trying to steal money.

Money has already been debited

The second scheme of fraud: the phone receives an SMS from the number 900, where it is written that money has been debited from the bank card. The message contains the card number, the exact amount of funds debited and the purpose of the transfer: utility debt, fine, bill for Additional services etc.

At the end of the SMS there is a link to the clone site of Sberbank (sber.me, sberban.ru and other variations), where you can see detailed information on arrests and charges. After a gullible user clicks on the link, they will be asked to enter their card number and PIN to find out about their debts.

lottery win

The third scheme of fraud: an SMS message comes to the phone from number 900, which says that the cardholder has won the United Russian Lottery. To receive a prize, you need to make a small transfer to the Sberbank card indicated in the message. If you do not perform this action, after a certain amount of time, the winnings will be reset to zero.

The card will be blocked

The fourth fraud scheme: attackers send SMS from number 900, where it is written that the bank card will be blocked soon. To avoid blocking, you must type the command "TRANSFER" and indicate the card number from the message. Usually such a command means the transfer of funds, in our case, to scammers.
