In the third quarter, the amount of money stolen by fraudsters from clients of Russian banks amounted to 12.4 thousand. rubles This is the minimum value since 2021, as follows from RIA Novosti calculations based on data from the Bank of Russia, Prime reports.
In the first quarter, the average check was 18 thousand rubles, then scammers stole a record amount of money during the quarter – 4.5 billion rubles.
According to analysts, the decrease in the average amount of stolen funds is due, firstly, to the efforts of banks to prevent telephone fraud using social engineering techniques and, secondly, to the fact that citizens are increasingly less sensitive to phone calls.
In September, Sber announced the launch of a service to protect customers from scammers in instant messengers. Previously, Tinkoff planned to launch a service to return funds stolen by telephone scammers. It will block suspicious transactions using an AI-enhanced fraud monitoring system.
