It’s impossible to anticipate ‘forgotten money’ as scammers say, expert says

The Central Bank announced the launch of the System Values ​​Receivable (SVR) platform, where Brazilians and companies can check if they have any ‘forgotten’ money in banks or financial institutions and redeem the amount on dates stipulated by the BC. However, what could be a moment of relief for many due to high inflation has become a danger zone, as many criminals have taken advantage of the population’s lack of knowledge of technology and the desire to receive the money faster to apply blows.

Arthur Igreja, specialist in Technology and Digital Security, in an interview with CNN, says that scammers create fake websites claiming that it is possible to anticipate the value for people if they carry out a PIX, “But it is impossible to anticipate the value”. The Central Bank has decreed a calendar for people to check if they have any valuables.

The expert highlighted that the scams find greater adherence with people who have little knowledge of technology, haste or greed to receive some value.

If they have any value, the Church explains that it is necessary to Upload documents, as well as taking pictures. “The important thing is to be calm while doing the whole process”. The specialist recalls that the Central Bank tried a first site, but due to high demand, they had to launch a new site to search for the amount receivable.

The Central Bank reported that there are around R$ 8 billion sitting in banks and financial institutions across the country.
