Among the most popular fraud schemes with an ATM – allegedly forgotten card. This was told by Izvestia the managing partner of the law firm AVG Legal Alexey Gavrishev.
If a person forgets the card, then the ATMs are usually taken after 30-60 seconds. Fraudsters are counting on the fact that those who stand in the queue will want to help. “However, as soon as you pull out the card, the” owner “will appear, it takes you and says that there were more funds on the account. There will also be a” witnesses “, which are just helping fraudsters,” explained Gavrishev.
When a forgotten card is found in the terminal, a lawyer advises the Russians not to touch it.

Scammers often say that there is no time, bank cards do not take and need cash only. The lawyer advises to never agree to cash the money of unfamiliar citizens.
