Scammers in messengers

Today, scammers are increasingly using messaging apps to deceive people. They may contact you pretending to be a friend, colleague, or even a relative.

What the scheme looks like you receive a message:

- “Hi, can you urgently lend me some money?”;

- they send a card number or a link for transfer;

- they ask you to transfer the money as quickly as possible.

What is important to remember:

- do not transfer money immediately after receiving a message;

- do not click on suspicious links;

- always verify the information — call the person directly.

How to protect yourself:

- confirm the request by phone;

- enable two-factor authentication in messaging apps;

- do not send money to strangers.

If you have doubts or notice suspicious activity — do not make a transfer and contact your bank.
