Almost a third of residents of Kirov Oblast have encountered fraud during banking transactions.
According to the Central Bank, the most common fraud schemes were telephone and SMS scams. In second place were scams via social networks, and in third place were email mailings.
Perpetrators persuaded citizens to transfer money, install malicious applications, or click on suspicious links.
The Bank of Russia noted that most often the victims of fraud are employed women aged 24 to 44 with average incomes and education levels, living in cities.
"The survey results allow us, together with banks, to more effectively build work to improve the population's financial literacy," Sergey Kryukov, head of the Kirov branch of the Volgo‑Vyatka Main Directorate of the Bank of Russia, emphasized.
This year the regulator has again launched a survey on the security of banking services. It runs from November 1 to 28 on the Bank of Russia's website. Residents of Kirov are invited to report which cases of cyberfraud they have encountered and how banks inform them about financial security.
