Tulyakov warned about fraudulent fines for parking

Residents of the Tula region should be more careful when receiving reports of fines for improper parking. Fraudsters use fake notifications to force car owners to click on a link and hand over bank card details.

A new scheme of deception was reported in the interior Ministry. Attackers send messages in which they claim that the violation was recorded by the camera. The notification indicates the amount of the fine and offers to pay it by link. To hasten the recipient, fraudsters threaten a significant increase in the amount if they refuse immediate payment.

Clicking on the link, a person gets to a fake site where he is asked to enter the details of the bank card. After that, confidential information is at the disposal of attackers who can use it to steal money.

In order not to become a victim of fraud, Tulyaks are advised not to follow links from suspicious messages and not to enter bank data on unknown sites.

Check the presence of fines and pay them through official services, including the portal "State Services" and the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate. There you can get acquainted with the resolution, photo materials of the violation and details for payment.

Even if the message looks convincing and contains a specific amount, before paying it is worth checking the information on the official resource.

Earlier, MK in Tula reported that only 9% of the region’s residents trust honest discounts during Black Friday. Women were more optimistic about sales than men.
