The Central Bank announced the increased use of a "single window" by fraudsters

Fraudsters began to use the "single window" more often to deceive Russians. This was reported on May 27 in the Telegram channel of the Bank of Russia.

The regulator explained that an attacker contacts a potential victim on behalf of a law enforcement officer and convinces them that criminals are currently trying to steal money from accounts. After that, the Russian is switched to an alleged specialist of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, who helps transfer funds to a fake "secure" account.

It is noted that in this way the scammers convince the potential victim of the seriousness of what is happening and "create the illusion of formality."

"In fact, if a person follows these instructions, they will transfer money to fraudsters' accounts, as well as disclose their passport data and other personal information to them," the report says.
