A new fraudulent scheme has appeared in Ukraine-the attackers create false bots in Telegram, which are not different from the official chatbots of banks and other financial institutions. The main goal is to make money from citizens under the guise of “cash payments” or other financial rewards.
About it reports State Secretariat.
The fraudsters copy the logos, design and even names of banks, changing them only with small details that are difficult to see. For greater plausibility, fake verification signs that can be added through Telegram premium.
The victims are submitted to the victims with a proposal to receive assistance or win – you need to go to the bot and fill in the application by specifying the payment card data, codes and passwords. After that, the money from the account disappears.
We will remind, the National Bank of Ukraine officially announced the activation of fraudsters who send emails allegedly on behalf of the NBU.
We have already reported that the STS has exposed fraudsters who send fake emails with a virus.
