EdgeCenter Information Technologies Director Sergey Lipov in an interview “Lente.ru” Named new fraud schemes in Russia. These include: fraud with cryptocurrencies, subscriptions and online retailers.
“Scammers may invite you to invest in cryptocurrencies by promising high returns,” he said.
According to Lipov, attackers can send a link that you click and receive cryptocurrency supposedly for free, but the link itself turns out to be malicious and steals the subscriber’s personal data.
The IT expert added that fraudsters can sign up for paid services without the citizen’s consent when visiting certain sites or downloading applications.
“Scammers can create fake online stores that look very realistic,” the director emphasized.
In order not to become a victim of scammers, he advised to be more careful, carefully check information and details on the Internet and not be fooled by too low price tags.
