According to him, one of the most common methods is the organization of fake online stores that sell low-quality goods or disappear a few days after payment.

“Infosecurity experts came to the attention of several recently opened sites created according to one template and containing the changed names of well-known stores - citilink, utkonos, ulmart, bonprix, svyaznoy, eldorado and mvideo. As a contact on all sites, one address is indicated, and the prices of some products are five times less than average, ”said Sergienko.

He added that attackers use a similar scheme when creating domains similar to the names of tour operators and services for the sale of air and train tickets.

The expert also said that at the end of the year there are sites selling New Year trees or offering to send a letter from Santa Claus. In his opinion, before ordering such a service, you need to carefully study the site because of the risk of personal data leakage.

Earlier, as reported by the Zvezda TV channel, experts from Roskachestvo told how to avoid scammers on classified sites.
