Cyberpolice urges citizens to be vigilant
Since the beginning of December, law enforcement officials have already received around 100 complaints from victims of such schemes.
The attackers attract money from citizens under the guise of providing compensation payments to the government. To do this, they use the video of President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to the National Police on Monday, December 14.
“Usually criminals post a video where the President of Ukraine talks about the payment of financial aid to entrepreneurs in the amount of UAH 8,000. In the description of the video, scammers post links to a resource where they can allegedly request a pay. get them all, “said the Cyber Police Department.
On the page that follows the link, citizens are asked to enter personal data and a bank card number to credit money. However, in the future, scammers ask to pay for the services of an attorney to complete an application, obtain an electronic signature, go through identification, and the like. They basically use the built-in chatbot for this.
After taking such actions, citizens not only transfer money for non-existent services, but also transfer personal data to scammers.
Cyberpolice urges citizens to be vigilant and advises:
-
receive information, especially about financial payments, only from official sources;
-
do not follow dubious links;
-
do not share confidential information with outsiders;
-
if personal (personal) information is disclosed, contact the bank and block the card;

In the event of suspected fraudulent activity, report it immediately to law enforcement.
