Today, despite the general improvement in the well-being of people and the tranquility of life, still many residents of Russia hope to get rich without leaving their homes, at one moment. Fraudsters, on the other hand, continue to use those people who are not taught by life, and lure out their hard-earned money.
Simple safety rules
In order not to fall into the cunning networks of scammers, it is enough to follow a few simple rules. They will surely help you avoid unpleasant situations.
Firstly, all messages or calls that come to your phone should be checked for information on the Internet. You can try to enter the phone number in a search engine. If this number has already appeared in some scheme, then for sure you will find complaints from people.
Secondly, if the competition is declared as the site of some well-known organization, then you should search the Internet on their portal for information about this or a phone number and call the hotline. So you can confirm or deny the information. If you are told that you have an hour to perform an action, then you are probably being deceived. In this case, you will be called from a landline number, and not from a mobile.
If you are offered to join an organization and receive a lot of money in a short time, but for this you need to make a contribution, then you are definitely being deceived. You need to remember that never for "just like that", you will not be given more money. At least more than 10% per annum, in rare cases 13%. But for this you need to contact the bank.
Why do people get caught up in scammers' networks
The thirst for quick money in people who consider their income insufficient for their ambitions has already played a cruel joke a hundred thousand times. Perhaps you are, and you really deserve more money. But investing somewhere without knowing people and not being completely sure is the dumbest thing to do.
Most likely, participation in various "contests" and pyramids is associated with naivety and a person's desire to believe in their own luck. This does not mean at all that there is nothing to believe in. It's just important to check all the information and rely on common sense.
