Fraudsters steal money from Russians under the pretext of issuing a "virtual foreign card" The Russian Ministry of the Interior reported that the fraudsters publish advertisements on the Internet in which they offer, for a fee, to issue a virtual foreign bank card to be used to pay for foreign services and purchases. To this end, the victim is asked to obtain bank card details, a copy of the passport and other data. As soon as a person pays a down payment, the scammers immediately stop contacting them. The personal data obtained can then be used to steal money or apply for loans. Law enforcement officers urge Russians not to send passport data or provide card details to foreigners.
