The scammers began to imitate their exposure

The scammers have started using a new double-call scheme. As the Association for the Development of Literacy (ARFG) told Izvestia, during the first stage of the scam, a call allegedly comes from a courier to a person's phone or messenger. The potential victim is informed that a certain package has been delivered, and in order to receive it, you need to give an SMS code that comes to the phone from an unknown number in parallel with the call.

Then the fake courier asks to wait on the line and allegedly accidentally forgets to turn off the microphone so that the person can continue to hear him, and begins discussing with his "accomplices" that it is urgently necessary to hack the person's account on Public Services. The prank lover waits for the development of events, feeling completely safe.

Next, the conversation is interrupted by the voice of the answering machine, which informs that the conversation was interrupted by Roskomnadzor, and offers to call back to the official number of the department. And two or three minutes later, the person allegedly gets a call back from the RCN with a message that the agency has recorded a suspicious call. At the same time, during this conversation, an SMS message arrives from the bank with an online banking login code, which the "RCN operator" is trying to find out. These are also scammers, but the fake employee of the department already sounds more convincing.

As a result, if a person has already lost their vigilance, they can tell the scammers the SMS code, and they will get access to the account. The appearance of this "multi-pass" was confirmed to Izvestia by Dom Bank.Russian Federation", Sberbank, VTB and OTP Bank.
