Traps for pensioners - what you absolutely must not do in 2025.


Pensioners become victims of fraudsters due to their trustfulness and need for assistance. To avoid being deceived, it's essential to know the most common fraud schemes in 2025.
Fraud under the guise of the Pension Fund
One such scheme involves receiving fake messages on social media from individuals posing as Pension Fund employees. These fraudsters try to obtain personal and banking information by asking you to fill out an 'official form' on suspicious websites.
The police warn that this is fraud.
Phone fraud with bank cards
Another common method is receiving calls from con artists posing as bank employees. They attempt to expose cardholders by asking for the CVV code, card number, and expiration date.
It's important to remember that legitimate bank employees never ask for such information over the phone.
Recently in the Chernihiv region, a woman fell victim to such a scam, transferring more than 125 thousand hryvnias to fraudsters.
What else should pensioners not do in 2025
Fraudsters may also pose as social workers, bank employees, or representatives of charitable organizations to obtain money or valuables. It's crucial to be cautious and not share personal information with strangers.
The police advise never to let strangers into your home, never to hand over money, documents, or bank card information.
During the spread of fraudulent schemes in 2025, pensioners need to be careful and vigilant. Schemes using the name of the Pension Fund or banks can lead to the loss of money and personal data. The most important thing is not to share any personal information with strangers and to always verify the authenticity of received messages or calls.Read also
