Only children": The youngest victims of the scammers were children aged seven to eight.
A number of cases of fraud of children of this age were registered in different regions of Russia, said Alexandra Pozharskaya, an expert at the Moshlovka platform. According to her, attacks usually take place in in-game chats.
The scammers convinced the boy to take his parents' smartphone, log into banking apps and transfer money to specified accounts. Attackers may present themselves to children as bloggers or artists.
"You can call the youngest victims seven to eight-year-old children. These are children who have just picked up smartphones and tablets," Pozherskaya said.
