Honored Lawyer of Russia, Doctor of Law and Professor Ivan Solovyov, in an interview with RT, called fraudulent schemes that attackers most often used in relation to citizens in March. “I would put calls on behalf of medical institutions in the first place. Fraudsters imitate the employees of the registry or a number of clinics, the district hospital or other medical center, ”he said. Cr well as a pretext of confirming the record or personal data on the medical card, scammers ask the victims to report the code from the SMS, which is actually designed to change the password on the“ public services ”, the lawyer explained.“ Elderly patients in confirmation of medical information are very strong Solovyov. At the second place, the expert put the calls of attackers allegedly on behalf of Roskomnadzor. To unlock the account, scammers demand to provide SNILS number, and then seize the victim’s account, the lawyer noted. “The third number is a newsletter of electronic letters with the logo of the Bank of Russia. Inside the letter – F.I. O. victims. It is reported that the victim of a certain international account with a large amount of money, as well as the threat of a fine, if this score is not closed right now, ”Solovyov continued. Expert explained that in the end people are starting to be afraid, recall: what if they once opened an account with a Russian bank, and an international was attached to it? “After that, people are offered to withdraw money and save interest income, but we need a Russian bank account with the largest amount of money,” he said. Some letters have phishing links to the site where it is necessary to enter personal data and bank details, he warned. “Or there may be a link to malicious software, which is automatically set to the victim’s device, including gaining access to online banking,” said The expert. At the fourth place, Solovyov set a scheme for deceiving pensioners on the topic of “recalculation of seniority.” “This is direct top schema in the last days of March. They call, report a problem with work experience that they discovered unaccounted labor periods and you can increase the pension. Well, in a conversation they try to get passport data. This is the first stage, ”the lawyer noted. A person calls another fraudster for ten minutes and seems to be an employee of law enforcement agencies, he continued.“ He says that he discovered a cash transfer to Ukraine, made using a pensioner’s passport data. Under the threat of criminal prosecution, people are convinced to withdraw money from accounts and transfer to the courier to avoid responsibility, ”the lawyer noted. At the fifth place, the expert set the scheme with fake votes in messengers.“ This scheme was very activated in March. A person is sent to a person to vote: vote for me at the competition of poets, artists, anyone. After the transition to the “vote”, the account turns out to be hacked, ”Solovyov explained. Next, scammers create fake dialogs and begin to ask the victim with all the victim’s contacts to transfer money and the like, the specialist summed up the head of the Central Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina said that the Russian financial regulator consistently covers the fraudsters.
