OAO Bank24.ru has been texting its customers to advise them to beware of the swindlers; however, the bank representatives appear unable to explain why the need to warn their customers came up in the first place.

For one, the bank asks the individuals not to react to messages that claim their bank cards have been blocked

‘Dear customers,
In case you receive a text message telling you that your bank card has been blocked and you should call the number provided below, please do not call this number. This is a scam!’ OAO Bank24.ru’s message says.
