Losses from 'false accidents' by June near the total value for 2025

Sábado28 August 2026 at 07:27

The losses caused by "false accidents" until June approach the total value recorded throughout the year of 2025, revealing a concerning growth trend. The magnitude of the losses represents a substantial worsening compared to the previous period.

This increase is driven by the use of new extortion methods, which have become more sophisticated and harder to detect. Criminals have resorted to more elaborate techniques to deceive victims.

At the same time, there is direct access to the victims' cards and banking codes, which allows fraudsters to carry out unauthorized transactions more efficiently. This form of direct access significantly facilitates the execution of scams.

The article does not specifically identify who the victims are or which entities are involved in investigating these cases, limiting itself to describing the general trend of the phenomenon.
