In Russia, fraudsters have begun to use new fraudulent schemes.

They pose as delivery services through fake profiles in instant messengers.

Fraudsters most often act on behalf of SDEK, Sbermarket, Yandex Delivery and Delivery Club, writes TASS .

They send messages about the order being ready for shipment. To find out the details or track the delivery, the victim is asked to follow a phishing link.

This link leads to a fake website where scammers ask you to enter your personal information and password for your online bank.

This allows them to gain access to the victim's finances.

According to Roskachestvo, this type of fraud is aimed at elderly people.

The main goal of fraudsters is to access the user's bank card and seize funds.

Kuzmenko called on Russians not to trust dubious messages about delivery and not to follow suspicious links.
