Fraudsters have begun deceiving Russians under the guise of being attached to the clinic. The fraudsters break into accounts on social networks and instant messages, design them as pages of medical institutions and send messages asking you to confirm your appointment to the clinic. The link opens a fake website that asks for a code via SMS. Then the scammers ask to send it to the "clinic" chat to gain access to the victim's account or her "government services". The Ministry of the Interior mentioned that government agencies do not require confirmation of personal data through social networks. Photo: Generated AI.
