Roskomnadzor told about the fraud scheme with "double calling"

Roskomnadzor carefully analyzes fraud cases, including those involving the use of a "double-ring" scheme, when scammers fake their exposure. This was reported on May 20 by the supervisory authority in response to a request from Izvestia.

"If there are no legally significant consequences for the applicant, the staff of the center inform the applicant about this and recommend that they follow the rules of digital hygiene. When the fraudsters managed to use the personal data of the person who applied, the lawyers of the center provide qualified assistance," the department noted.

The supervisory authority reminded that personal data, passwords, bank card numbers and other confidential information should not be disclosed over the phone, and if you receive a suspicious call or message, you should not succumb to pressure and threats.

The Center for Legal Assistance to Citizens in the Digital Environment (a subordinate enterprise of Roskomnadzor — Ed.) checks all citizens' appeals, requests and analyzes documents to establish the circumstances of the incident and provide assistance to victims.

"Take time to think about it, consult with your loved ones and double—check the information through official communication channels - call the organization back at the number you know. Do not make transactions at ATMs at the request of third parties," the service concluded.

Intruders play on the old emotional bonds and trust between partners

On May 16, it became known that fraudsters had complicated the standard scheme of deceiving Russians and introduced a new stage there. At first, they call on behalf of couriers, imitating inexperienced scammers. Then, pretending that they forgot to turn off the microphone, they discuss the "divorce plan." After that, they contact the victim on behalf of Roskomnadzor and coax out the real code to log in to the online bank.
