90% off, but no product: Scammers are preparing for "11.11" and Black Friday. Fraudsters create duplicate websites of popular marketplaces and brands, copying their design and selection. The address of such a site may differ from the real address by only a few characters. "After buyers purchase products at discounts of up to 90%, false sellers disappear without delivering them," said Asia Dmitrieva, a member of the Russian Bar Association. There are other schemes: scammers send messages about "secret" discounts, closed sales and gift certificates. The link leads to a phishing site where the person is asked to enter their bank card details. Another option is a so-called message from the delivery service: the order has arrived, but you urgently need to pay a small fee or confirm payment. After clicking on the link, the fraudsters receive your card details. The fraudsters may also impersonate bank security officers and promise an increased refund. As a result, they try to convince the victim to give the code from the SMS or the login data to the banking application.
