New schemes of Internet fraud: how not to fall into the trap

There are more than ever those who want to cash in on the mountain.

Under the guise of calls for help, scammers swindle money from gullible Ukrainians , reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Channel 24.

Cybermarauders, even during the war, resort to vile fraudulent schemes.

For example, scammers post ads on the Internet for the sale of bulletproof vests or the need to purchase medicine for the front line. Volunteers who help our defenders transfer money to attackers, and then they do not fulfill their obligations, but embezzle funds.

Report such cases to the Cyber ​​Police. So that no fraudster can profit from the war.

p> The most common signs of fraudulent ads are:

• Informal communication channels are indicated (personal mobile phones, bank cards)
• There are no links to official representatives of volunteer communities/CAA/Red Cross

< li>Too specific or obscure requests (e.g. 7.62 caliber gray wolf night vision systems), requests for expensive medical/military equipment

• Emphasis on emotions of guilt, pity, and text is often capitalized and exclamation marks
• The amounts of collected funds are indicated without a tool for calculating them (checks, Patreon systems, crowdfunding platforms)

• The text is translated by an automatic translator (many Russianisms, forms are used incorrectly words)
• Too obvious requests (food, medicine)

Help the army and Ukrainians affected by Russian aggression, but use reliable sources.

The National Bank opened special accounts to raise funds.
