Prevarant na daljavo je prevzel telefon moškega iz Ajdovščine in ga oropal, kar je povzročilo izgubo okoli 900 evrov. Po poročilih slovenskih medijev je ta incident del širše vire prevar, kjer se prevare uporabljajo vključno z aplikacijo Revolut, ki jo uporablja velika številka ljudi, tudi v Sloveniji. Prevaranti so se osredotočili na uporabnike, ki uporabljajo aplikacijo za brezstično plačevanje ali nakazovanje denarja med računi.
Nastaja je bilo 23. junija 2026, ko je nek uporabnik Facebook skupine Revolut delil svojo neprijetno izkušnjo, da bi opozoril druge na nevarnost. Uporabnik je dejal, da je bil poklical nekdo, ki se je predstavil kot uslužbenec oddelka Revolut Security. Ta je zvenel zelo prepričljivo in je opozoril uporabnika, da je njegov račun na Revolutu ogrožen, ker so zaznali sumljive transakcije. Uslužbenec je pritiskal na uporabnika in mu govoril, da mora ukrepati takoj, sicer bo njegov račun blokiran, vsa sredstva zamrznjena, aplikacije ne bo več mogel uporabljati.
Komunikacija je potekala prek same aplikacije Revolut, zato je bilo vse videti popolnoma resnično in legitimno. Lažni uslužbenec je uporabniku predlog, da odpre aplikacijo za deljenje zaslona, da bi ga vodili skozi varnostno preverjanje. Na koncu je uporabnik denar nakazal na platformi BingX in URPay in je izgubil približno 900 evrov. Ko je prevaro prijavil, je Revolut zavrnil vračilo denarja z obrazložitvijo, da je transakcije odobril sam.
Uporabnik je opozoril druge uporabnike, da uslužbenci Revoluta nikoli ne bodo stopili z njimi v stik prek običajnega telefonskega klica. Prav tako nikoli ne bodo zahtevali deljenja zaslona, nikoli pa niti ne bodo zahtevali nakazila denarja zaradi verifikacije računa. Opominjal je, da je treba biti previden, če se kdo kliče, ustvari paniko, grozi z blokado računa in zahteva nujna nakazila, gre za prevaro.
Na njegovo objavo so se odzvali številni drugi uporabniki, ki so imeli enako izkušnjo, vendar večina med njimi prevarantom ni nasedla. Številni pa so se avtorju objave zahvalili za koristne informacije. V skupini so se pojavile tudi druge objave, kjer so uporabniki opisali podobne izkušnje.
V drugem poročilu, ki ga je objavil Lokalec, je bil opisan primer spletne goljufije, kjer je oškodovanec ostal brez 1.500 evrov. Policisti v Slovenj Gradcu so obravnavali primer, kjer je neznana ženska poklicala oškodovanca in mu pod pretvezo odprtega kripto računa ponudila pomoč pri razpolaganju z domnevno privarčevanimi sredstvi. Naslednji dan je oškodovanca kontaktiral še moški, ki mu je poslal spletno povezavo. Oškodovanec je povezavo odprl, s čimer je goljufom omogočil dostop do svojega transakcijskega računa. Kmalu zatem je ugotovil, da mu je bilo z računa odtujenih 1.500 evrov.
Policija opozarja, da so spletne goljufije vse pogostejše, storilci pa pri tem uporabljajo različne pretveze, med drugim tudi obljube o zaslužkih s kriptovalutami ali vračilu domnevno obstoječih sredstev na kripto računih. Občanom svetujejo, naj bodo pri takšnih klicih izjemno previdni. Neznanim osebam naj ne posredujejo osebnih ali bančnih podatkov, ne odpirajo sumljivih povezav in priponk ter ne nameščajo programov za oddaljen dostop do svojih naprav. Sumljiva elektronska sporočila naj označijo kot vsiljeno pošto ozirom jih izbrišejo.
Takšne prevarne metode so postale še bolj priljubljene, ker uporabniki uporabljajo digitalne platforme za denarno uporabo, kar omogoča prevaram pri dostopu do njihovih računov. Mediji opozarjajo, da je treba biti zelo previden, posebej pri telefonskih klicih, ki se predstavljajo kot uslužbenici, in pri zahtevkih za nakazilo denarja. Vsi poročili združujejo sklep, da je treba biti zelo oprezni in ne dopustiti, da se prevaranti izkoristijo za dostop do denarja.
