This was reported on the website of the regulator.
“Intruders call citizens under the guise of support service employees of a mobile operator and report that the subscriber's number will soon cease to be valid.
To avoid disconnecting the number, a person is offered to dial a certain combination of numbers on a mobile phone, ”the message says.
As a result of entering numbers, the subscriber activates call and text message forwarding, which allows fraudsters to gain access to the remote management of a bank account and steal money, the Central Bank explained.
It is also noted that as pretexts, fraudsters may name the need to reissue a contract for the provision of communication services, change the tariff plan or disable a paid service.
Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Development developed a bill on a system for tracking phishing sites.
Oleg Sedov, Development Director for Cyber Literacy of the Population at RTK-Solar, talked to Nation News about ways to protect against fraudsters.
