The scammers began sending notifications to the Russians about non-existent electricity bills, which were created during the recalculation, which management companies usually carry out at the end of each year. About informs RIA News.
Attackers distribute fake notifications via mail. As a rule, scammers set a “debt” in the amount of 10-20 thousand rubles. However, they want the debt to be paid as soon as possible in order to get a discount. Those who accept the payment not only lose the specified amount, but also transfer their bank card data to the criminals.
It is noteworthy that if the victim does not pay attention to the notification made by e-mail, the attackers call the victim by phone and ask him to voice his bank card information in order to pay off his debt.
If such a notice is received, the Russians are advised to call the management company themselves and clarify the information about the debt. It is important to call the phone number from the official website of the company.
