The Bank of Russia has warned about fraudsters who create websites designed in corporate colors and with the digital ruble logo. They are trying to attract Russians to a non-existent investment program, promising passive income.
Attackers are luring people into a non-existent digital ruble investment program. Scammers are urging people to invest in digital rubles and receive passive income from these investments. They create websites in corporate colors and with the digital ruble logo. Such online resources are called the investment program of the digital ruble of the Bank of Russia by fraudsters. On the site, the visitor is greeted by a “personal manager” who persuades them to deposit an amount into a “deposit”.
The person is persuaded to join the program while the “entry threshold” is low, since then the starting amount will increase significantly. A potential victim is asked to answer a few questions and leave their contact details. Then the goal of the “personal manager” is to convince the person to deposit as much money as possible on a fake platform.
Be vigilant: there are no digital ruble investment programs! Trust only official sources. All information about the digital ruble is published on the Bank of Russia website.
The digital ruble is a new form of national currency that exists in digital form. It is intended for making payments and transfers.
Currently, operations with digital rubles are only available to a limited number of clients who participate in the pilot project. These clients are clients of banks connected to the digital ruble platform. The Bank of Russia will additionally announce the launch of the digital ruble into mass circulation.
Earlier, Russians were warned about a fraudulent scheme with lotteries. The most common deception is a drawing with three free “spins” and a mandatory win.
