Emails with tempting offers of discounts, sales and promotions from well-known brands are the main trick of scammers before the New Year. This opinion was expressed by the head of the project of the All-Russian Popular Front (ONF) “For the rights of borrowers” Yevgeny Lazareva, reports RIA News…
According to the specialist, such mailings contain phishing links to clone sites of large retail chains.
“Under the guise of New Year’s promotions and sales, cybercriminals make mailings and create phishing clone sites of well-known brands. The main trick of this year can be called truly fabulously generous offers to buy a gift for loved ones for 10% of its real value on the market, ”Lazareva explained.
The emails that scammers send in are almost identical to traditional holiday marketing emails. They offer expensive items at low prices. The quantity of goods is usually limited, and the offer period varies from 12 hours to a day.
Earlier, the Russians were warned about a new way of fraudulent pensions. Users faced a large-scale phishing attack by fraudsters sending notifications from Yandex mail about the return of their pension savings. Attackers write on behalf of a fictitious organization – “Services of fin. monitoring “. Referring to amendments to the law on compulsory pension insurance, they promise the return of “insurance savings”. The scammers claim that the transfer did not go through in the automatic mode; now it is necessary to complete its registration online.
