“We have recorded more than 70 fake government services sites,” RIA Novosti quotes Sberbank Deputy Chairman Stanislav Kuznetsov.

He noted that for the first quarter of 2020, 10 thousand online resources of fraudsters were identified, which is twice as much as last year.

The number of conversions of Russians to fraudulent sites has increased 10 times.

Earlier, IT specialist, CEO of Reactive Phone, Ivan Semenov, told how to protect yourself from Internet scammers.

In April, Nikolai Pyatizbyantsev, an expert in the field of banking and payment system security, in an interview with FBA “Economics Today” evaluated the new fraud schemes against the background of a coronavirus pandemic.
