As explained in the police, this method of fraud became possible after banks began to use biometrics to verify the identity of the client. Some banks can now issue a loan to a person using biometric data.

Fraudsters call bank customers who already have a voice recognition service activated. They ask people questions that only need to be answered “yes” or “no.” This conversation is being recorded. The attackers then call the bank under the guise of a client and undergo biometric verification using records.

The police noted that the Russians find out about the fact of fraud after they write off money from their bank accounts. The police advise using several types of protection: a code word or confirmation through a contact center. You can also set a limit on withdrawals.
