Candidate of Economic Sciences, Rambler’s financial analyst Mikhail Belyaev called the reason for which financial fraud will never end in conversation with “ribbon. In his opinion, fraudsters will not disappear, because a certain proportion of the population will always be inclined to adventures.
“Fraudsters why they call? Because there is such a thoroughly stable figure – in any country, in any society, regardless of the development of the country, traditions, economics, the development of the banking system, four to six percent of the population, in principle, prone to adventurous behavior. They are ready to engage in extreme sports, participate in the hired army, including to get involved in these financial schemes, “said Belyaev. Therefore, financial pyramids and other methods of fraud have and will always be, the economist believes, and fraudsters in most cases do not even invent any new ways to lift money.
Previously, it became known about the proposal of the Central Bank to simplify the procedure for the return of funds to citizens affected by fraudulent operations. According to the regulator, for the third quarter of 2021, fraudsters have kidnapped in customers of Russian banks more than 3.2 billion rubles, which is 18.5 percent more than a year ago. At the same time, banks returned to customers only 7.7 percent of the stolen funds, that is less than 250 million rubles.
