The scammers are now “helping” to return the money stolen by other scammers.
In chat rooms, where victims of fraudsters are looking for help and discussing the return of money, a new phishing scheme has appeared. The attackers distribute through bots links to fake sites and fake channels, issued under the official resources of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
Fake pages copy the real news of the department, and then add contacts for communication. Fraudsters promise to help with compensation, return of stolen funds or recalculation of payments for participants of the SVO. Behind the official style there is an attempt to bring a person to personal communication and get data.
The main purpose of the scheme is related to the collection of personal information. After the data transfer, the victim can be drawn into a new deception: under the guise of checking, issuing payments or assisting with a statement, criminals gain access to documents, accounts and banking information.
The cyber police reminds: the official departments do not accept appeals through random chats and bots, do not offer compensation in messengers and do not ask for personal data through dubious links. It is necessary to check the addresses of sites and channels only through the official resources of the departments.
