Fraudsters promise “compensation” and “financial assistance” – for example, from the supposed UN, the European Court of Human Rights, the Red Cross, while they say that the payments are made “at the expense of confiscated assets of the Russian Federation. .”
In Ukraine, online scammers have become more active, thinking about cash payments and swindling Ukrainians’ bank card details. This is reported by the State Special Communications Service.
Fraudsters promise “compensation” and “financial assistance” – for example, from the supposed UN, the European Court of Human Rights, the Red Cross, while they say that the payments are made “at the expense of confiscated assets of the Russian Federation. .”
On social networks, cyber scammers distribute ads and ask to follow a link that leads to a phishing page of the so-called “Unified Compensation Center for the Return of Unpaid Funds”. They ask you to enter your bank card details to supposedly receive payment, but after that you may be left with no money. .
Ukrainians are asked not to trust information from unverified sources, but to learn about the payment of benefits and compensation from the official websites of state bodies, to clarify the information through of calling the official phone number of the state body or during a personal visit.
In addition, the State Special Communications Service calls for:
never enter payment card details on unfamiliar and suspicious websites;
if payment card details are entered incorrectly on a fraudulent website, you must immediately block the card using a mobile application, a bank hotline or via Internet banking.
The list of fraudulent pages is on the CERT-UA website.
Recall that earlier the National Bank spoke about common types of wartime fraud.
It is also reported that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has warned about schemes for misusing donations from citizens.
