Interior Ministry experts have warned Russians about a popular fraudulent scheme.
Fraudsters continue to do everything to take over citizens’ accounts on “Gosuslugi”.
Details were reported on the Telegram channel “Russian Cyberpolice Bulletin”.
Experts said that Russians are being sent emails and SMS messages.
The messages say that there was an alleged attempt to log into their account from someone else's device.
The text is accompanied by a number. The authors of the message ask to call it and clarify all the details.
In fact, this number belongs to scammers who pose as employees of the State Services support service.
People follow their instructions and lose access to their account, and the scammers commit fraudulent actions. For example, they issue million-dollar loans to the victim.
For reference
Fraud is the theft of someone else's property or the acquisition of rights to someone else's property through deception or abuse of trust.
