Scammers started offering money for vaccinations

VTB, Gazprombank and Kaspersky Lab have discovered a new fraudulent scheme in which cybercriminals offer bank customers money for vaccinations. About it writes RBC.

Scammers usually work through social networks and mobile messengers, where they distribute ads for bonuses in the amount of $ 5,000. rubles, which are allegedly paid to clients of VTB and other banks in the event of vaccination.

When clicking on a link from such an ad, the user is taken to a page where you need to enter your personal data, including your full name and phone number, as well as bank card details. All this information is the target of the scammers who thus gain access to the victim's funds.

Gazprombank representative Alexei Pleshkov confirmed to RBC that in the same way scammers are now spreading advertisements for the sale of counterfeit certificates of vaccination or the provision of services for entering information about the fictitious fact of vaccination in a single database of vaccinated citizens.
