According to Captain Jerry Vogel from the Witkelik Police Department, the bank’s employee did a very great job that caught their attention to the treatment. “The customer discovered that they will be deceived if they took out this money and put it on a purchase gift card or put it on encryption devices, and they will lose these funds forever.”
“The social security administration may be. Microsoft may indicate that you have a virus, a terrible virus, on your computer, and you need to jump through these hoops to get rid of the virus,” said Captain Vogel. But he stressed that most of these things are just intimidation tactics, noting that their ideal victims are the elderly because they feel fear a little more than other age ranges in the population.
In the second case, the victim wanted to solve a problem around the device and enter a search chain to find the number of Microsoft support on Google. After obtaining a response from the search engine, I click on the first insertion in the search without checking it. Instead of reaching Microsoft’s support, she was connected to a deception in what is known as “search engine poisoning”.
In this case, the victim was asked to withdraw $ 40,000 to protect her account from emptying. The fake Microsoft Call Center employee told her that she had a virus on her computer that was obtained from children’s pornography from China and an illegal drug site from the same place. She was told that these sites will withdraw money unless it does so.
According to the Witkelik police report, the victim went to a gas station containing ATM and deposited $ 20,000. A writer at the station noticed what is going on and tried to stop it, but it is too late. Fortunately, she still has another $ 20,000 with her.

According to electronic analyst Alex Herston, most of these begins with a typical sense of urgency. He stated that the fraudsters usually make it seem trying to help the victim to evade penetration or attack before they hit. “If someone calls you from the blue, demands money, threatens you, and on the relationship of Bitcoin, then this will be a fraud,” Hamirston said.
He added that the police will never call anyone before the start of an arrest, which means that if the police will arrest anyone, they will come to their position to establish detention. “There are very few divorced in the world, but 100 % will not take the tax department for your tax bill. They will never take tax payment using gift cards,” he added.
In another incident in Winstik, the police stated that the victim was asked to deposit $ 5500 in the ATM Bitcoin at the Sam Store after receiving a call from the Social Security Administration. According to reports, the owner promised to remove the device during the next month.
“I just advise you to be very careful of anything that directs you to buy gift cards or put cash in ATMs,” said Captain Vogel. He also added that the transactions related to the ultimate coded ATMs.
