The sale of cryptocurrency will result in the banks' clients being included in the fraudulent database of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, which will entail restrictions on transactions, сообщил Head of the T-Bank Ecosystem Protection Center Oleg Zamiralov.
According to him, one of the fastest ways to end up in the Russian Central Bank’s fraudsters’ database is to sell cryptocurrency from hands. That is, the client has some kriptovalyuta , for example, for 100 thousand rubles, and with the help of the exchange he tries to find a buyer for it.
The buyer is found, but this buyer is actually a fraudster - he will not pay with his own money, but with money that he will steal from the victim, the analyst noted. He emphasized that in such a scheme, the victim receives the details of the cryptocurrency seller and says that this is a transfer to a safe account, and the money will be saved there. As a result, the victim loses money.
The seller of cryptocurrency, having received the money without knowing its origin, transfers the cryptocurrency to the fraudster, making what seems to him to be a completely honest transaction. The fraudster disappears with the cryptocurrency. As a result, this seller ends up on the fraudulent list of the Bank of Russia, the expert explained.
He stressed that this could also lead to the introduction of restrictions on various customer transactions with banks, and advised against using dubious schemes involving the sale of digital assets.
