1 The investigation committee warns: the season of big discounts is a period of increased activity of cyber crooks!
On the eve of the November 11.11 sales and the large-scale Black Friday sale, online fraudsters are becoming more active across Belarus.
Attackers create fake websites, advertise with tempting discounts and offer products at low prices. After prepayment is received, they disappear, and fake payment and shipping links can lead to the theft of money from cards.
Digital safety rules:.
Buy only from trusted online platforms.
Check the URL and seller details.
Do not transfer payment in advance to foreigners.
Do not follow dubious links.
Do not share your bank card details or SMS codes with anyone.
Do not fall for artificial urgency and promises of amazing discounts.
If you have fallen victim to fraud, immediately contact the bank and the law enforcement authorities at 102.
Be vigilant and do not allow fraudsters to turn a profitable purchase into financial losses.
