Yesterday my mom got a call with a classic divorce.
The essence of the scheme is as follows:
The following text is received via SMS gateway: “your number is blocked (blacklisted, etc.), for more information contact the customer service number: +7 XXX XXX XXXX.” In the header of the sender will be your mobile operator.
But yesterday the scheme was broken or the crooks turned out to be fools, without waiting for a call from the victim in general, they called themselves.
My mother is not well-versed in the affairs of technical handed the phone to me.
Further, the scheme works as follows: the “operator” reports that a technical failure occurred while connecting the new equipment and that everything can be fixed
for this you need to dial the service code * code * more_code # - this command cuts the “donor” service or what is the name of different operators
Its essence is as follows: as soon as a client includes a donor, he can transfer money from his balance to the telephone numbers of other subscribers of the network
then they will tell you that yes - now it is necessary to remove the lock by sending another request * code * number_ of the attacker * amount # usually the amount is asked to enter 100,500, it is possible to repeat several times
when the request fails - the money ran out, you are politely forgiven.

incoming call number was hidden
I was too lazy to wait for the number to which the money should be withdrawn, and I just told the scheme to the attacker, after which he quickly hung up
why did you decide to attack my mother - the number is "beautiful"
who choose to sacrifice - those who have payments "large" of several thousand
How do they determine - do you collect and store checks after payment through the terminals?
I myself have watched 2 successful withdrawals
and both times people ignored me.

comments opened another more “rough” scheme when they simply ask to send an SMS, which in turn will be the SMS payment for the service.
