Cyber Police Warns of a New Kind of Fraud
Attackers spread fake SMS about the arrival of parcels on behalf of a well-known postal service. Messages contain phishing links to resources controlled by fraudsters.
We encourage you to follow the following tips so as not to lose your money:
• do not follow dubious hyperlinks; • receive data on the arrival of the parcel only on the official website of the mail service or in the application;
• check the correctness of the site URL before entering confidential data - even the slightest discrepancy may mean that the user has come to a phishing site;
• create a separate an online card for online shopping, to which you transfer only the amount necessary for payment; • pay money after receiving the goods to minimize the risks of losing money;
• Do not notify third parties of confirmation codes that come in SMS messages or directly to applications.
When disclosing payment information — immediately contact the bank and block the card.
