The Ministry of Internal Affairs warned about a new fraud scheme with the Mir Pay application

The scammers have developed fake applications posing as Mir Pay in order to transfer victims' money to their accounts. This was announced on August 31 in the press center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

According to the agency, the scammers have created a technology known as "reverse NFC". It fraudulently imitates the Mir Pay application and gives them the opportunity to connect their bank cards to users' devices.

"As a result, by approaching an ATM and attaching a smartphone, the victim transfers cash to these other people's cards," TASS quoted the agency as saying.
