Residents of Kursk warned about a new scheme of fraudsters with tax checks
Remote fraudsters began to scare Russians by hacking a personal account on the portal “State Services”, which allegedly occurs when trying to check tax charges
According to the agency, scammers operate according to the following scheme. They send a potential victim a message in the messenger on behalf of an employee of the Federal Tax Service with a link that allegedly can check tax accruals. Clicking on it, a person receives a notification of hacking of an account on “State Services”. The same message indicates the phone number, which allegedly will help solve the problem.
Thus, fraudsters create an atmosphere of anxiety, force the victim to call them and convince them to follow their instructions. As a result, a person caught in the trick is deprived of savings, and can also, under the influence of scammers, issue a loan and transfer the funds received to them.
The Interior Ministry advises never to follow links from messages. Law enforcement officers reminded that representatives of state bodies and police officers themselves never write to citizens in instant messengers.
