Every day, scammers come up with new schemes of deception using modern technologies and methods of social engineering. According to statistics, the number of scams committed via the Internet, mobile phone, What’s App is steadily growing. Today, the underworld is deceiving the public online. The most common schemes of phishing attacks: sending viral emails, SMS messages or push notifications with links that lead to a double site. Most often, scammers pose as representatives of well-known organizations in emails or phone calls and offer very tempting offers, for example: participation in various sweepstakes and lotteries, or, conversely, intimidate potential victims by sending a message that their debt has been transferred to collectors, and in order to find out the amount of debt, it is necessary go to the specified link. If you click on a phishing link and enter your personal data, you will automatically fall on the hook of intruders.

Another trick of scammers is the creation of fake bots in popular messengers, including on behalf of banks. Pseudobots ask users to enter personal data and bank card data, they can request a code from an SMS. As soon as the attackers know this information, they can withdraw all the money from the cards of gullible citizens and, in addition, issue loans to them in a fraudulent way.

Do not transfer to anyone and do not pledge your identity document; do not publish photos of your documents on social networks and do not send them to third parties via WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber and other messengers.
