📝 Summary

Fraudsters began to use a new scheme to deceive citizens using forums to protect against intruders, VTB reported.

As specified in the bank, scammers first actively call their victim, who begins to look on the Internet, how to protect themselves from fraud and similar attacks. At the same time, on thematic sites and forums, attackers post comments aimed at such citizens. Through comments, scammers under the guise of ordinary users suggest to the victim that it is urgent to “save” their money after contact with criminals. As a result, the victim transfers his funds to the account of the attackers. VTB advised to “turn on the head” in situations related to monetary issues, and noted that the money is safe when lying in bank accounts. Earlier, Roskachestvo warned about a new method of fraud associated with rumors about the possible return to Russia of international payment systems Mastercard and Visa. Criminals send fake SMS about the need to "validate" bank cards to restore their functionality.
