Voice faking has become a working tool for fraudsters; police advise calling back yourself.
According to Interior Ministry materials cited by RIA Novosti and relayed by Vedomosti, the caller's voice can be almost identical to a real teacher's, and the pretext is an "urgent problem". Police advise not to comply with the request right away, to end the call and call the homeroom teacher back yourself, or to ask whether other parents received the same request.
