Attackers often impersonate representatives of law enforcement agencies, Roskomnadzor, and Rosfinmonitoring. This was warned by the press service of the UBE of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
Based on data from the last two weeks, it was calculated under the guise of which institutions scammers most often call. Law enforcement agencies and executive authorities (Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, RKN, Rosfinmonitoring) — 50%.
Attackers, posing as representatives of government agencies, deceive Russians by claiming unauthorized access to their accounts and alleged financing of prohibited structures.
False calls from organizations posing as the "financial sector" (Central Bank, commercial banks) account for 30% of all fraudulent attempts. Attackers report blocking accounts or the need to transfer funds to "safe" accounts.
Scammers often pretend to be employees of management companies and housing and communal services (10% of cases). They call Russians and offer to replace intercoms or meters, demanding to report codes from SMS.
Warnings that you need to confirm data through "Gosuslugi" or MFC allegedly to protect your account account for 7%. Calls with an offer to apply for benefits or insurance and a request to transfer personal data under the guise of social services and insurance companies — 3%.
Earlier it became known that every day about 50–70 thousand Russians fall for the tricks of scammers and transfer their money to them. Fraudsters make 6-8 million calls per day.
