"The attackers are parasitizing socially significant topics, writing big words, but the ultimate goal is to steal money," the department's Telegram channel says.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs published an example of such a fraudulent message: in a screenshot from Telegram, the headline "They are blatantly lying to you when they say that their military service will end in 2025" is crossed out in red and marked as "phishing".

The agency also warned about the need to check the source of information before wasting time on another "sensation."
