The Interior Ministry warned about fake notifications from labor inspection

Fraudsters are sending fake notices to organizations with the threat of labor inspection checks. This was reported on February 13 by Telegram-channel of the Department for the organization of the fight against illegal use of information and communication technologies (UBK) of the Russian Interior Ministry.

Subsequently, the fraudsters demand from the organization to pay the alleged state duty by QR code to get more detailed information - this way the money will go to the attackers.

"This scheme has been fixed by the State Labor Inspectorate of the Tambov region, however it can be scaled to other subjects of the Russian Federation", - added in the UBK.
