F6 specialists found at least 30 websites disguised as digital services. They offer to check fines and debts, track parcels, "look up" a person by number, find matches by photo, or calculate a personal horoscope.
After entering data, the website invariably produces a frightening result: an unpaid fine, a travel ban, car problems, or a "karmic debt." False "violations" appear regardless of the data entered – even if you specify a birth year of 3908.
To find out the details, the victim is offered to buy a full report for 5 rubles. In reality, this is a five-day trial period, after which a subscription for 399 rubles per month is activated. To pay, you need to enter card details, and then the service may show an error and ask you to use another card – this is how the data falls into the hands of scammers.
F6 advises checking fines and debts only through official services. Before paying, it's worth looking at the website address: a suspicious name, a recently registered domain, and a discrepancy between the page and its topic are reasons to immediately close the tab.
