Tens of thousands of hryvnias are being debited from pension cards: what is the reason?

It seems that scammers have really “unleashed” in Ukraine recently – they are not only “transferring” virtual pensions for past years, but also stealing real money from pensioners.

VIDEO OF THE DAY

A client of Oschadbank told about one of the recent cases, writes the publication Expert.

He complained that 47,000 hryvnias had disappeared from his pension card without his knowledge.

The incident occurred back in July, but his appeal to the bank and cyber police received no response.

At the same time, bank representatives, in their defense, stated that fraudsters can debit funds from a client's card only if the client provides them with confidential information about their card (number, expiration date, CVV code located on the back of the card), as well as a confirmation code that can only be sent to the financial phone number.

That is why the banking institution emphasizes that customers should be careful and follow security rules:

  • do not disclose CVV code, PIN code or passwords via SMS to third parties;
  • do not click on suspicious links that may be phishing;
  • use only official channels of communication with the bank.

And in case of suspicious activity, immediately call the bank's call center.
