Every day, on average, 4 web resources appear on the Internet to deceive buyers.

Details were revealed in their Telegram channel by experts from the FACCT company

Fraudsters continue to actively use recognizable brands.

Under the guise of a well-known brand, scammers mislead people and steal money or personal data.

In the first six months of 2024 alone, the number of phishing sites increased by 50%.

And they lure Russians to these resources with the help of advertising on social networks.

Fraudsters do everything to ensure that people do not suspect a trick.

Users think that they see an advertisement for a well-known bank or other organization, click on the advertisement and end up on a fraudulent website.

Moreover, the resource is made in a very similar style, which again leaves no room for doubt.

Fraudsters use such sites for two purposes: stealing bank card data and stealing information that provides access to a personal account (login, password, etc.).
