Any bank customer is a potential target for scammers. However, it is not for nothing that there is a proverb "who is warned is armed." Knowing the methods used by criminals, you can protect yourself from trouble.

Ural Bank of Sberbank conducted an analysis of customer requests and compiled a list the most common methods of banking fraud in 2015.

3. Telephone and SMS fraud

It is unpleasant when you receive a message that the bank card is blocked. I would like to immediately call the bank and ask what to do and who is to blame. Just calling the number specified in the SMS message is dangerous for the wallet. Because on the other end of the line there will be not a polite bank employee, but a polite fraudster who will be interested in your CVV2 or CVC2 code, card number and other important information. Sometimes an attacker asks to perform certain actions at an ATM to unlock a card. Of course, these actions will replenish his card or mobile account for a certain amount. If you receive news about a card block, then before making a call to your bank, do not be too lazy to go to his website and find out the correct phone number.

Basetop recommends using the services of reliable banks in Russia, the list of Central Banks as of 2015 is ranked by capital adequacy.

Sometimes scammers do not rely on sms, but call themselves, posing as an employee of a bank. Remember that no bank employee has the right to ask the client about the card security code and other confidential data.

2. Online sales announcements

A new, but already quite common way of taking money from the population. At risk are those who indicated their number on a message board, wanting to sell a bicycle, clothes, furniture, etc. Further events develop like this: a potential buyer calls you and is ready to transfer the deposit to a bank card. Only he will need not only the card number, but also its other data, for example, a three-digit security code, the number and month of the card’s validity, etc.

Then the interlocutor will ask you to name the confirmation code for the transfer of money that came to your phone, supposedly for transferring from an electronic wallet to a card. After that, you will become poorer in the amount of “collateral”, and the “buyer”, accordingly, a little richer.

1. Virus on a mobile device

The leader in the rating of the most common methods of fraud in relation to bank customers. Long gone are the days when viruses were dangerous only for computers. Cybercrime keeps pace with the times and mobile viruses appeared back in 2004.

One of the most dangerous “infections” is the Trojan-Spy.SymbOS.Zbot.a Trojan, which is paired with the Zbot computer virus. Attackers obtain the personal data of a PC user infected with Zbot, and then send an SMS to the victim’s mobile phone, which contains a link to the Trojan. Once the program is installed, criminals will have the opportunity to conduct banking operations. All SMS messages with confirmation codes will be redirected by the Trojan to its "owners".

To secure your mobile device, install programs only from the official app store. And to clean your PC, check out the antivirus rating of 2015, where you will find the most effective antivirus programs.

Sberbank, for its part, took care of customers and released an updated version of the best mobile bank Sberbank Online. It already has an antivirus that protects against malware not only the program itself, but the entire smartphone.
