Fraudsters, posing as lawyers, have begun to approach potential victims on forums dedicated to combating fraud. They offered deceived Russians to return the lost money for a reward, said Alla Khrapunova, an expert at the "People's Front. Analytics" direction.
We are recording so-called pseudo-lawyers who offer victims of fraud to return their lost money for a reward. These attackers either called the victims of deception themselves, or found them on forums of victims.
According to Khrapunova, those who have become victims of deception are trying to find answers to their questions on the Internet. And it is at this moment that attackers exploit their vulnerability.
In existing discussions or on new forums, people appear who talk about how terrible it is that a person reported the code from SMS. They say that loans are already being issued in his name, and money is being debited from accounts. To save their funds, it is allegedly necessary to transfer all their money to safe accounts.
Khrapunova advised victims of fraud to contact law enforcement agencies and the bank where the loan was issued. She also recommended using only reliable sources of information and not trusting dubious forums and chats.
Earlier it became known that telephone scammers take revenge on those who did not believe them, with the help of AI. Attackers can use fake phone numbers of victims to deceive people. They call and introduce themselves as law enforcement officers, and also send false messages to these authorities.
