Fraudsters have started using the "single window" scheme for telephone fraud, the Bank of Russia reported.
During one conversation, attackers allegedly switch a person between employees of various government agencies. The Bank of Russia explained that this is technically impossible. This scheme is used exclusively by fraudsters.
First, a fake employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation or the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation calls. He claims that an operation is underway to detain criminals who are allegedly trying to steal money from the account. Then the victim is "switched" to an imaginary representative of the Central Bank, who offers to transfer funds to a "protected account".
The Bank of Russia recalled that it does not open accounts for individuals, does not conduct settlements with them, and does not call citizens. Information about special "safe" accounts is a fiction.
Fraudsters also pose as employees of Roskomnadzor, the Social Fund of the Russian Federation or support services for the public services portal. Their goal is to gain access to money, passport data and personal information.
The Central Bank stressed that government agencies do not ask to transfer money and do not initiate financial transactions by telephone. It is recommended to immediately stop such conversations.
