Scammers started stealing money from citizens by sending fake purchase receipts to the post office. The attackers offer the Russians to “cancel the deal” and lure them to the phishing site, TASS wrote.
The potential victim receives an email containing a receipt for a purchase they did not actually make. Additionally, the email contains a link to “Cancel Transaction”. Since the person has not made a purchase, they usually click on the link.
The victim ends up on a fake page where she is asked to enter her bank card details and CCV code, supposedly to get a refund. In fact, this information goes directly to the scammers, who use it to transfer money from the victim’s card to their account.
Such checks often come from addresses that mimic well-known markets. However, if you carefully study the sender’s email address, you may find minor errors in one or two letters in the name of a well-known company, according to reports. TASS.
In addition, attackers have begun to use a scheme in which they offer the victim to make a counter transfer, promising a big win or income from investments.
