The victim's friends are involved in the scam – the scammers have perfected the scheme

How have scammers modernized their scheme to extort money from Russians?

This sophisticated scam, like most others, relies on social engineering, whereby the victim is misled and forced to transfer money to the scammers. The scheme involves several stages:

The scammer contacts the victim, posing as an employee of a bank, law enforcement agency, the State Services portal, investment platforms, etc. The victim is offered the chance to "save money" from theft or increase their capital—the cover story can vary. To implement the plan, the victim must transfer their savings to an acquaintance, friend, or relative—ideally, if the two people have previously conducted banking transactions. The acquaintance will then personally transfer the funds to the scammers, without attracting the attention of the bank's security services.

IN T-bank Reports indicate that the number of cases of fraud using victims' friends has increased by 60%. A complex chain of stolen funds helps fraudsters bypass credit institutions' anti-fraud systems.

What should bank clients do to avoid becoming victims of fraud?

Financial security and literacy are talked about literally everywhere – representatives banksThe media, law enforcement agencies, and independent experts are warning Russians about the risks of fraud. However, no preventative measures have yet produced the desired results—people of all ages, social status, and education are falling for scammers. To avoid becoming a victim, experts urge:

Avoid entering payment information on dubious websites; use a separate card with a minimum balance for online purchases; filter calls using software to immediately see who is calling from an unknown number; do not disclose personal information to third parties or share codes from SMS; if you receive a call "from the bank's security service," contact the organization using the official number or visit a branch in person.

"It's important to monitor the payment transactions of children and elderly relatives—these individuals are at the highest risk. It's advisable to enable transaction notifications on your phone and set acceptable spending limits," the expert recommends.

Cyberpolice urges Russians to critically evaluate offers of high incomes, as scammers often disguise themselves as investment platforms. These scams may involve famous people (actors, athletes, politicians), as well as the victims' relatives.

They won't be left without profit – smart contracts will help banks make money on the digital ruble.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

How will banks make money on the digital ruble?

Smart contracts are algorithms that execute preset operations with the digital ruble, such as transferring funds step by step in real estate transactions. Transactions are automated, and administration and control costs are reduced. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation plans to allow banks to profit from the digital ruble—commercial institutions will be granted the right to create smart contracts and publish them.

"There's been increased interest from banks in the digital ruble—major companies are already proposing their ideas, and smart contracts will be an interesting case for them," the Central Bank stated.

The regulator promises to publish the concept in early 2026. The development is being conducted in dialogue with banks, and their interests will be taken into account. Smart contracts will be implemented similarly to app stores: those interested in using the required algorithms will begin paying a fee to the developers.

When will the implementation of the digital ruble in Russia be completed?

The large-scale implementation of digital currency in Russia has been repeatedly postponed; the project is currently still in the testing phase with individuals and businesses. The plan is to introduce the electronic ruble gradually:

By September of next year, banks and large companies with annual revenues of ₽120 million or more will be able to access the digital currency; by September 2027, organizations with a turnover of ₽30 million or more will be able to do so; by September 2028, all organizations will accept the digital currency.

Prominent figures are being recruited to test the electronic payment method. For example, Central Bank employees, including Elvira Nabiullina, are expected to be test subjects; her team will be paid in digital rubles. The new payment method will be most useful in the public sector, where maximum transparency in handling budget funds is essential.
