At Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, as part of the V International Financial Security Olympiad, a thematic lesson “NOT Child’s Play: 2.0. Drop Willy-nilly” was held, dedicated to issues of financial security and counteracting fraud. The event was held in a mixed format, which allowed more than 3,000 participants to unite: students and teachers from various SPbPU institutes, teachers and schoolchildren from St. Petersburg and the Donetsk People’s Republic.
At the event, Deputy Head of the Interregional Department of Rosfinmonitoring for the Northwestern Federal District Daniil Sharippo presented the activities of the structure and spoke about various fraud schemes. He explained who droppers are, as well as the methods used by criminals to deceive citizens.
The expert spoke in detail about the forms of telephone fraud and demonstrated how fake video and audio recordings are used. Particular attention was paid to current types of crimes.
During the discussion, participants shared personal stories about encounters with scammers and discussed how to properly respond to such situations. The lesson was not only educational, but also practical, as students learned the basic rules of security in financial matters.
“We will continue to hold such events. This is a very important topic that needs to be covered,” stressed SPbPU Vice-Rector for Security Alexander Airapetyan. “Today you were told about the main methods and ways to combat fraudsters. Use them, help the older and younger generations, as they are most susceptible to negative influence. Critical thinking is very important in the modern world.”
At the end of the event, the participants received an invitation to the international Olympiad on financial security, the winners and prize winners of which have priority when entering the bachelor’s, specialist’s and master’s programs of SPbPU. This became an additional incentive for in-depth study of this topic. Detailed information on the procedure for holding the Olympiad can be found atwebsite.
