Bryantsev warned about new schemes of deception through “public services” and marketplaces

In the Bryansk region, cases of fraud with the use of fake calls from bailiffs, medical workers and employees of marketplaces have become more frequent. Attackers are trying to gain access to personal data and steal money from residents of the region.

Scammers use different pretexts. Posing as bailiffs, they threaten to block accounts because of an allegedly overdue loan. On behalf of the support services of marketplaces promise to return money for the lost order. Fraudsters also call under the guise of employees of clinics and ask to provide data for the entrance to the portal “Public Services”, for example, under the pretext of recording for vaccination.

The new schemes were warned in the Bryansk branch of the Popular Front. They recommend not to fulfill the requirements of unfamiliar interlocutors, even if they call personal data of a person. The conversation should be stopped, and then call the organization on the official number.

Experts remind that you can not inform strangers passwords, codes from SMS and notifications.

According to statistics, over the past week from the actions of fraudsters suffered 18 residents of the Bryansk region. The total amount of damage exceeded 15 million rubles. Large sums were stolen under the pretext of helping with online purchases and sales, as well as after a call from a person posing as an employee of a high-ranking official.
