Before the admission campaign began, fraudsters intensified their schemes to deceive applicants, promising to guarantee admission to prestigious universities in exchange for large sums of money. Dmitry Golendyaev, head of the law firm Golendyaev and Partners, member of the Omsk branch of the Russian Bar Association, spoke about this.
He pointed out that they promise to guarantee admission to a prestigious university for a fee, and charge between 50,000 and 300,000 rubles, and then disappear or indicate “changes in circumstances.”
Attackers also offer to issue targeted referrals that are supposedly from large companies. After the expansion of the targeted training program, these services are in particular demand, but the documents provided often turn out to be fake.
In addition, scammers sell fake benefits certificates and create copies of university and government services websites. Through fake resources, they collect personal data and banking details of citizens under the pretext of submitting acceptance documents and reports RIA Novosti.
Fraudsters have also begun introducing new scam schemes, telling victims that all their savings are supposedly part of the Russian Reserve Fund. What is known about the new fraudulent scheme is contained in the material “Moscow Evening”.
