The Interior Ministry named the main techniques of fraudsters in ATM schemes

The main techniques of fraudsters in ATM schemes remain intimidation, creating a sense of urgency, psychological pressure, and impersonating bank employees or law enforcement agencies. This was announced on August 9 in the press center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

"The attackers are calling under the guise of a "bank security service" or "law enforcement officers," scaring accounts with hacking and convincing them to withdraw all the money, delete the banking application and install a "new" link," the department told TASS.

The Interior Ministry stressed that the scammers also deliberately rush the victim, leaving no time to think about their actions, and to increase trust, they pose as employees of the FSB, banks, telecom operators, utilities and other organizations.

On August 9, the press service of the Moshelovka platform of the Popular Front warned that fraudsters had developed a new scheme in which they sent messages to parents about suspicious transactions on the cards of their teenage children and offered to urgently check through a special service. According to experts, the phishing emails contain a link to a fake online service that allegedly provides "instant access to juvenile statements."
