Fraudsters came up with a new scheme to steal money from Russians through tax inspection

Scammers have started using reports of tax charges to lure Russians to fake websites and lure money. The scammers introduce themselves as employees of the Federal Tax Service, and then scare citizens with an allegedly hacked account on State Services. About the new scheme reports TASS with reference to the materials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Deception begins with a message in the messenger. The unknown person impersonates an employee of the regional department of the Federal Tax Service and offers to check the accrued taxes by a special link.

After going to the specified site, a person sees a warning about the alleged hacking of a personal account on the portal "State Services". At the same time, he is asked to call the specified phone number for an urgent solution to the problem.

In this way, attackers create a sense of danger in a potential victim and force them to contact them on their own. During the conversation, fraudsters convince the interlocutor to follow their instructions, presenting their actions as assistance in protecting the account.

As a result, a person risks losing personal savings. In some cases, scammers force victims to issue loans and transfer them borrowed funds.

The Interior Ministry urged Russians not to follow suspicious links from messages and not to trust strangers posing as employees of state agencies. Law enforcers stressed that official representatives of the authorities do not use such messages in messengers to resolve issues with citizens.
