Deputy Nabiullina assessed the possibility of fraudulent transactions with the digital ruble

There are currently no confirmed fraudulent schemes using the digital ruble, but it is important to remain vigilant, explained Zulfiya Kakhrumanova, Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. “The main defense is knowledge. If you know the subject well, it is impossible to confuse you,” she said in an interview with a KP.RU journalist.

“We have gone to great lengths to protect this system from various types of impacts. But criminals always adapt to the current agenda. The digital ruble is on everyone’s lips,” recalled the deputy head of the regulator, Elvira Nabiullina, assessing the possibility of illegal actions.

As follows from Kakhrumanova’s statements, a person can only open a digital ruble account independently from his mobile device through the bank’s application. “If they call and offer to give you a code, follow a link, transfer funds, these are scammers. Just hang up,” the Central Bank representative urged.
