The Ministry of Taxes and Taxes has warned about a new fake tax payment scheme. By November 16, Belarusians have to pay a single property payment. Fraudsters decided to take advantage of this situation. The victim receives a notification about late payment and a supposed link to the MNS portal. The site is very similar to the real one, but it asks you to enter personal data, then the card number, its expiration date, CVV code and 6 digits from the message. "On the real website of the Ministry of Taxes and Taxes it is not possible to pay tax by card - only through ERIP or internet banking," the department reminded. - If you don't give in, the fraudsters go to the second stage: they send letters threatening criminal proceedings and a "verification report" in the form of a PDF file. Downloading such a file is dangerous: it may contain phishing links or spyware that will steal passwords and financial access data. Ransomware with a ransom demand is also possible. ".
