With the approach of International Women's Day, scammers have stepped up their attacks on Russian women. They offer them "gifts" in the form of smartphones and other prizes.
Attackers create fake stores where they promise gifts in exchange for installing applications. The software is designed to steal personal data and even gain access to bank accounts.
The scam is simple: the victim is asked to answer questions and share the link with friends. Then she is asked to install an application that can lead to data leaks and financial losses. Such schemes are becoming more common, especially before the holidays.
Scammers also use other methods, such as calls from beauty salons offering free services, which in reality turn into financial losses. It is important to remember that the amount of spam and fraudulent calls increases before the holidays. Women are more likely to become victims because of their gullibility.
Experts advise being careful and not clicking on suspicious links, as well as checking information about promotions on official websites. You should not send money to strangers, even if they seem nice. Be vigilant and protect your data!
