Take care of yourself and your money: defrauders have many masks and methods!

31 March 2021

Those who like to profit at someone else's expense are good psychologists who are ready to go to various tricks in order to enrich themselves. Both individuals and legal entities can equally become victims of fraud. Recently, the number of financial crimes with the use of new technologies has been growing in the world, but, as it turns out, some crooks still do not exclude the same old methods.

For example, a company that provides intermediary services in the field of education abroad accepted "official" payments for the education of graduates abroad and provided falsified bank documents about the payment made to confirm the alleged transfer. As time passed, it turned out that the money was not received into the accounts of the universities.

Note that the committed act is a criminal offense and is punishable by law. A successful outcome, if the defrauders, when detecting fraud, return the appropriated money fearing punishment, but it also happens that the attackers simply "disappear".

Forewarned is forearmed!

We advise all clients not to entrust their financial transactions to third parties or intermediary companies. Today, you can make a money transfer for any services rendered independently in various ways, even without coming to the bank - with the help of modern digital solutions via Internet banking or a mobile application. You can also make a transfer in the classic way by contacting any of the bank's branches - you will always be advised how best to transfer money with a minimum commission.

OJSC "Keremet Bank" strongly recommends:

  • do not trust financial transactions to intermediaries, make bank transfers in person;
  • never share your card's personal data (number, expiration date, CVV, PIN code, and other information) with anyone);
  • do not perform bank card transactions at the request of callers.

Be careful: attackers are ready to take advantage of any opportunity to profit. If you still have a suspicion that they are trying to deceive you, it is better to double-check everything by calling the round-the-clock contact center at (0312) 55 44 44, writing via WhatsApp at (0 557) 55 44 44 or by e-mail address call-center@kermetbank.kg.

Take care of yourself and your money!
