"Izvestia" reports: "During the tense geopolitical situation, scammers have become more active, offering citizens to "save money from sanctions."

The funds are persuaded to be transferred to a "secure account", which actually belongs to the attacker.

The surge in deceptions under this scheme comes against the backdrop of the imposition of sanctions by the West against Russian banks.

The Central Bank emphasized that criminals always adapt to the information agenda, and citizens should stop communicating with strangers, regardless of who they appear to be."

Why do you think scammers manage to get into the trust of many people?

The first economic sanctions recorded in written sources were imposed by the Athenian Maritime Union (the Delian Symmachy) on the city of Megara (part of the Peloponnesian Union) in 432 BC. e. in order to stop the practice of accepting runaway Athenian slaves in this city and plowing the sacred frontier territories.

They are known under the name "Megarian psephism". On the one hand, the Megarian merchants suffered heavy losses, but on the other hand, they were forced to turn to the allies (primarily Sparta) for military support.

As a result of the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War, Athens suffered a crushing defeat, and the Athenian Union was destroyed.

In the Middle Ages in Europe, economic sanctions were mostly local and short-term in nature due to the constantly changing configuration of trade and military alliances and the changing interests of individual rulers and influential people.

In the 19th century, sea blockades became the main instrument of economic sanctions - measures to prevent the sea trade of an individual country with other countries without declaring war on it.


How do you feel about economic sanctions? How should the population of the country organize work and solve financial problems during sanctions?
