Kuzbass residents can get into the network of fraudsters because of fake receipts for housing and communal services

First, check the personal account. Compare it to past receipts. If the number is different, it's suspicious. Second, look at your name and address. Mistakes in them are a worrying sign. Third, the area of the apartment should coincide with the real one.

Another important point is the management company. If the name is unfamiliar, and before it was another, this is a reason to be wary. Fraudsters often indicate left-wing firms, IPs and even individuals.

The most important thing is the bank details. If they are different from the usual ones or the QR code leads in the wrong place – do not pay! When scanning in the application, the recipient must be an official organization, not a third-party legal entity.

“The most reliable way is to call your management company or resource-supply organization. There will always tell you how much and for what you owe, says Kolunov.
