Recently, scammers have become more active, offering Russians the opportunity to earn money for likes on marketplaces. This was reported by Alla Khrapunova of the "People's Front. Analytics" direction.
According to her, the scheme begins with tempting offers where victims receive small payments for likes. Scammers pay them money for several days, and then the "tasks" become more complex, and the attackers demand that the victims invest their own funds. When victims start investing money, scammers create additional obstacles.
After a few days, when the victim's investments reach some figures of interest to the scammers, the trap will slam shut. It will turn out that the victim made some mistake when оформлении the product, the money went to the wrong place, fines are charged. All this requires investing additional funds, otherwise the previous ones will not be returned.
She urged Russians to be careful and not to trust such schemes. The expert noted: if the offer looks too good to be true, then it is probably a scam.
The expert advises anyone who has encountered such situations to immediately contact law enforcement agencies.
