Scammers are developing new websites for selling airline tickets in a couple of hours. People using the services of such a resource will find out that it was a hoax only at the airport. This was reported on April 21 in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

"It's a matter of hours to create an online website for the sale of airline tickets. It takes even less time to change its name, address, and appearance. As a rule, deception is not disclosed immediately," the agency quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

Due to the fact that people find out that their tickets do not exist only at the airport, scammers manage to transfer their resource to a new location. Due to this, they continue their activities under a different name.

On April 19, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation informed about a fraudulent scheme under the pretext of organizing photo shoots for models. It is clarified that the attackers place ads on social networks related to the services of a photographer under the guise of novice specialists. They offer the victim to take part in the shooting and pay only the cost of stylist services and studio rent.
