Fraudsters began stealing accounts in state services, promising payments for the Internet. Attackers call a potential victim in the guise of an employee of the social fund or the tax service and inform him that he is entitled to payment for the use of the Internet at home or on his personal computer, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs said. To receive compensation, you apparently need to call the code from the SMS or confirm the data with the state services. The code the scammer asks for is access to the victim's account on the service. Fraudsters can also use similar codes to apply for a microloan, the department warned. The Ministry of the Interior called not to reveal SMS codes to foreigners, even if the person presents himself as a civil servant. An image generated by a neural network.
