Portal RuNews24 listed five new fraudulent schemes, which became known only in May.
Today, cyber-fraud is very developed not only in Russia, but throughout the world. Swindlers resort to the most non-standard methods, if only to mislead the victim, scare him and get money.
Recently, they have begun to pretend to be law enforcement officers, scare them with articles for extremism, accuse them of sponsoring terrorism, and thus extort money. In addition, experts noticed that now citizens are being sent messages from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, notifying them of a loan taken and asking the victim to confirm the loan. The real Central Bank never sends out such confirmations, and it is important to know about this.
Also, scammers use fake QR codes on scooters, scare them with unauthorized debiting of money, ask to scan the codes they provide, and even use neural networks and deepfakes. In order not to fall for the tricks of scammers, it is important to remember that no manipulations with dubious personalities on the Web or by phone are necessary.
If at least there is the slightest doubt that there is a scammer on the other end of the wire, then it is easier to hang up, thereby saving all your money.
