"Specialists <...> found at least ten advertisements for the sale of QR-passes on shadow forums," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to him, these ads were posted back in May, but initially they contained information about the purchase of fake vaccination certificates and their entry into the State Services database.
Voloshin added that the scammers edited the description after the decision of the Moscow authorities to introduce QR codes.
On June 28, anti-coronavirus requirements for restaurants and cafes in Moscow came into force.
Now, only people who have been vaccinated, have had COVID-19 in the last six months, or have a negative PCR test valid for three days will be able to visit catering establishments.
To do this, they need to receive QR codes.
The headquarters of the capital told where you can get a QR code registered in the capital and visitors.
The headquarters reported that in three days, almost 2.5 million QR codes were generated for the townspeople to go to the restaurant and to events.
