Scammers started deceiving pensioners under the pretext of recalculating payments

Deputy Nemkin: fraudsters pose as employees of the Social Fund

Scammers in Russia have come up with a new way to deceive people. Now they are promising citizens of retirement age a recalculation of social benefits. This was announced by Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy.

According to the parliamentarian, the fraudsters pose as employees of the Social Fund. They offer to apply for a pension recalculation over the phone, citing allegedly previously unaccounted for work experience.

If the victim agrees, the fraudsters ask for the code from the SMS message "for identification". And at the same time, they gain access to the victim's profile on the "Gosuslugi" portal or in a mobile bank.

Earlier www1.ru reported that a new way of deception was invented in Telegram.
