Fraudsters began to lure the passport data under the guise of service workers.

Fraudsters began stealing the personal data of Russians, impersonating emergency services workers. This was reported by Yevgeny Masharov, a member of the Public Bureau of the Russian Federation.

According to him, fraudsters place fake phone numbers of management companies in the entries. When residents call them, fake service workers receive an accident request, and then offer to "confirm your identity" on the state services portal.

In some cases, the fraudsters also ask for the cadastral number of the apartment. In this way they try to obtain personal data of citizens.
