During the period of payment of taxes, fraudsters lure Kostromics into a new trap

The Ministry of Internal Affairs warns Kostromics about a new scheme of remote fraud associated with the sending of phishing messages on behalf of the Federal Tax Service (FTS).

Attackers send messages to messengers on behalf of an employee of the Federal Tax Service with a reference for “checking tax charges”.

When clicking on the link, the user is notified of the “hacking” of the account on the portal “State Services”.

The message indicates the phone number of the “support service”. Calling it, the victim gets to scammers who are forced to transfer money or issue loans under dictation.

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs recommend checking the accruals should only be in the official application "Taxes FL" or on the portal "State Services". Do not follow links from messengers and do not report codes from SMS.
