Russians were warned about a new scheme of fraud when trying to find employment

Fraudsters began to deceive Russians who want to get a job on behalf of the "employer". They offer to issue a salary card at the bank by linking a "corporate" number to it. Alexander Kholodov, deputy chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of Russia on security and cooperation with the Public Control Committee, said this on Wednesday, March 19.

"Go through a small interview remotely, and you are offered to urgently apply for a bank card in order to send your salary to it," he said on the OP's Telegram channel.

According to Kholodov, fraudsters persuade victims to specify a specific "corporate" phone number in the bank, RT reports.

"The scammers' phone is linked to a bank account, then they gain access to your personal account and take out a loan for you through this bank," he explained.

To do this, it is proposed to download an application with a Trojan, after which money may be stolen from the victim's accounts. 360.ru .
