[HIGHLIGHTS] Russians were warned about the intensification of scammers during the holidays

Russians warned about the intensification of scammers during the holidays. EdgeCenter CIO Sergei Lipov advised Russians to be careful with offers of discounts and promotions.

Lipov: “Scammers are offering great deals on gift certificates that are actually counterfeits. Buy goods only from trusted sellers and stores,” he said. The adoption of a law allowing citizens to impose a self-ban on taking out loans will make it more difficult for fraudsters to obtain loans using stolen documents, experts said.
