Fraudsters send out vacancies from fictitious companies in messengers and invite to "training" and "internship". During a fake internship, real work is simulated: the victim is given simple tasks and shown a fictitious salary on the account (for example, 25–30 thousand rubles) to gain trust.
After that, the attackers ask to pay "taxes", " оформление документов" or "refund of overpayment" via QR code or transfer to a card. After the transfer, the connection is interrupted and the money is stolen.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs notes: real employers do not require prepayment for employment or paperwork. If you are asked to transfer money, it is most likely a scam.
