Russians warned of new fraudulent scheme ahead of February 23

On the e-mails of Russians come letters that report a one-time cash payment for veterans of the SVO and military personnel involved in hostilities, reports TASS. To receive the payment, it is supposed to “send the application to your military unit or to the institution where the contract was signed.” “This message is fake, and the address from which the newsletter is being sent has nothing to do with the military department,” the source said. The law enforcement agencies urged not to respond to such letters, not to download attachments and not to follow links, as this can lead to theft of personal data and gaining control over devices. It is not necessary to write statements to military units, since fraudsters are trying to overload clerks and military enlistment offices. Earlier today, a new type of fraud was reported, which arose amid rumors about the return of international payment systems Mastercard and Visa to Russia. Attackers send fake SMS with a request for urgent “validation” of bank cards. And they link to a fake bank page, which leads to theft of personal data, card information, as well as logins and passwords to the Internet bank.
