50-year-old Pskov lost access to “public services” because of the call about “replacement of intercom”

In Pskov, a 50-year-old local resident became a victim of phone scammers who got full access to her account on the portal “Gosuslug”. The victim herself told about the incident on social networks.

According to the woman, she called an unknown person who introduced himself as an employee of the service organization. Referring to the need to replace the intercom, the interlocutor asked to dictate the code from the SMS message to confirm the application. The gullible Pskov fulfilled the request.

As a result, the attackers freely entered her personal account, updated personal data and managed to issue an electronic power of attorney for an outsider. Fortunately, the woman did not suffer financial losses.
