Fraudsters in Russia began to use a new scheme of deception under the guise of investing in the stock market. Honored lawyer of the Russian Federation Ivan Solovyov warned about this in an interview with RT.
According to him, attackers create special sites that offer “to invest online and get a high income.” “After registering on such a “brokerage” site, a “specialist” comes to the person by phone or online, who recommends installing a special application on the victim’s phone for the convenience of interaction and tracking their future profits,” Solovyov quotes RIA Novosti.
He clarified that after that, the scammers extract money from the victim under various pretexts, for example, buying and selling shares, bonds or currency baskets. Soon they stop communicating.
Earlier, the National Association of Financial Planners told RIA Novosti about another fraud scheme related to investments. To obtain personal information or funds, attackers use fake sites to check the reliability of brokers. When clicking on the link, the victim is asked to enter the name of the intermediary company, after which the site displays a message that the broker is allegedly on the “international blacklist”. For instructions on how to proceed, the user is prompted to leave a name and phone number.
We also recall that in mid-January it became known that telephone scammers began to deceive Russians, promising help with a QR code at Gosuslugakh.
