Residents of Mordovia warned about fraudsters during the autumn draft
The swindler who calls appears to be an employee of the military commissariat and offers to “clarify the data” or “replace the documents”.
With the beginning of the autumn draft campaign, telephone fraudsters have intensified, who now disguise themselves as military enlistment officers.
The attacker, posing as an employee of the military commissariat, offers to “update information” or “replace documents”. Then, under the pretext of entering data into an electronic queue or confirming receipt of a summons, he asks to name the code received in the SMS. The main trick is that the scammer claims that this code is the number of your electronic subpoena.
What's really going on: By giving the coveted numbers to the attackers, you do not confirm the subpoena, but give them access to your accounts on the Public Services portal, banking applications and other services.
How to be safe: Employees of military enlistment offices never contact citizens through messengers and do not request codes from SMS. Subpoenas are handed in person or received in the personal account on the portal "Public Services" (where the code is used only for entry, and not to confirm the identity by phone). In any case, do not give the codes from the SMS to anyone – neither the alleged “military officer”, nor the “investigator”, nor the “bank employee”.
