Even in wartime, fraudsters do not abandon attempts to deceive citizens.
Fraudsters have a habit of quickly adapting to new circumstances and realities and implementing new fraud scenarios.
How do criminals act during the war?
- Under the guise of evacuation transportation of citizens, fraudsters ask for prepayment to a card, but do not fulfill the obligations they took on and simply disappear.
- They make fake announcements to collect money for the treatment of children who allegedly suffered from military aggression.
There are cases when fraudsters find photos of injured people on the Internet and collect money to help the «injured».
- They create phishing (fraudulent) sites that resemble the sites of real charitable foundations, where you can allegedly transfer funds to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Through phishing sites, fraudsters steal money, passwords, secret card details, and personal data.
Sites visually resemble the sites of real charitable foundations, but differ in the site address.
Check the correctness of the names of the sites you go to and where you enter your personal data. The addresses of the real and fraudulent site may be similar, except for one or several characters.
If you received a link to a charitable foundation site in a messenger, SMS, or e-mail, or saw a corresponding link in a publication on social media not from an official source, do not go to the link.
It is better to enter the name of the necessary site in the search engine and only then go to the web resource.
