OREANDA-NEWS Russians on average gave 50-100 thousand rubles to fraudsters in 2022, this assessment was given to RIA Novosti by Valery Lyakh, director of the Department for combating unfair practices of the Central Bank.
Losses from investments in financial pyramids amounted to about five to six billion rubles, he noted. At the same time, the total losses of Russians from the activities of illegal immigrants and pyramids decreased by 30-35 percent compared to 2021, Lyakh added. "We do not allow fraudulent projects to turn into steam locomotives while they are still teapots," said the director of the department, quoting an anecdote.
On average, it takes 5-5.5 days from identifying an illegal immigrant to publishing information on the site, he noted. Earlier, the Central Bank proposed to oblige banks that sent the client's money to a fraudulent account to return the stolen funds within 30 days.
The new rules will only apply if the transfer was made to the account of a fraudster whose information was contained in the database of the Bank of Russia.
