Volgograd motorists have been warned about a new scam
Scammers are exploiting the topic of increased fines for illegally parked cars.
Law enforcement officers are warning about the emergence of a new method of defrauding citizens. Scammers are threatening that the amount of the monetary penalty for violating parking rules will increase severalfold. This information was disseminated by the Obyasnyaem.RF portal, citing data from the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The scam works like this: a person receives a notification allegedly about a parking violation. In it, the scammers ask the recipient to make a payment by clicking on the attached link. If the recipient refuses to pay, they are threatened with a substantial increase in the amount. The link itself leads to a fake page. There, the victim enters their bank card details. Ultimately, the funds end up in the hands of the attackers.
