Fraudsters are already starting to use six popular fraudulent schemes again.
These pre-New Year tricks are not so new, but some Russians continue to fall for them and lose significant amounts of money.
Alexander Vurasko, Director of Development of the Solar AURA External Digital Threat Monitoring Center of the Solar Group of Companies, shared a comment on this topic in a conversation with TASS .
Phishing sites and fake New Year sales remain one of the main threats to Russian wallets.
In addition, the expert added that scammers create fake websites for ordering Christmas trees or calling Santa Claus.
Another favorite scheme is to organize voting for a New Year's drawing competition.
Many Russians prefer to celebrate New Year and Christmas not at home, but at a resort or simply in another city.
Fraudsters have begun to actively create fake websites for booking hotels and tickets, so it is important to check everything carefully before making a payment.
