Fraudsters have begun sending fake utility bills to Russians. Fraudsters place receipts with non-existent debts in mailboxes. If you pay with a QR code, the money will go to the scammers. The link may also lead to an identity theft site. Housing and community services lawyer Alexander Ushkov told Paska how to distinguish between a fake and a real acceptance. The expert advises to check new payments with previous payments, and to check the data of the management company using GIS of housing services and community services. "If the financial and personal account is marked incorrectly, the number of residents is not indicated, there are contradictions in the area and the types of services, then all of this needs to be checked. Presence, absence, type of QR codes - go there too. Typing errors in the last name are also a reason to pay attention, because the data that enters the EPD is stored in the calculation code itself or in the crime code. Automatically, and errors there, as a rule, are not included," Ushkov clarified.
