The interior Ministry warned of fraud with codes from intercoms

Citizens are being deceived under the pretext of replacing intercom keys. People receive calls from the alleged management company, callers report that the door will be replaced in the entrance, specify how many electronic keys need to be made. For credibility, fraudsters can clarify how it is more convenient for a citizen to get an electronic key, offer even for a fee to make spare ones. After that, scammers report that each apartment will have its own intercom code, since the common code contradicts the security policy. This "personal code" is sent to the victim and asked to dictate it. “Naturally, it turns out to be a code to restore access to significant accounts,” the UBC explained. The pattern may vary. Thus, according to the company "Videoglaz", fraudsters can introduce themselves as employees of well-known companies engaged in the sale, production and installation of security systems, and then offer to replace the keys to the intercom. The conversation ends with the same – scammers request a code from SMS, which is sent “from the company”, told RIA Novosti in “Video Eyes”. One way or another, scammers have access to “public services” and opportunities for debiting funds from bank cards.
