Fraudsters impersonate bank employees or police, claiming victims need to act urgently to protect their funds. In one instance, a man was tricked into taking a loan of 100,000 lei and buying cryptocurrencies, while another woman lost 119,000 lei after scammers gained remote access to her phone. CSALB emphasizes the importance of caution when receiving calls about financial issues, advising individuals to verify the identity of callers and avoid sharing sensitive information.
