Scammers lure students with SMS codes under the guise of checking grades Scammers disguised as college employees call students and inform them of the mandatory procedure for confirming grades in an electronic journal. Students are asked to name the code received via SMS. The dangerous scheme is supported by a second fraudster, who calls in the name of an employee of the state services portal, claiming that the personal accounts of a student and his parents have been hacked. Citing the risk of eavesdropping, he asks the victim to download a supposedly secure communication app. After that, the "researcher" entered the program. The attacker convinces the student of the need to declare money to avoid "punishment" and demands that they hand it over to a fake bank employee.
