The Interior Ministry warned about scammers' messages asking them to call them back.

Fraudsters send fake documents or disturbing messages, forcing citizens to urgently call them first. This was announced on September 16 by the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia Irina Volk.

"Messages with an offer to call back can be received in a variety of ways: by messenger, e—mail, via SMS, and even in a regular mailbox," the Telegram channel says.

She listed typical examples of such mailings — information about account hacking, the need to replace documents, bank or SIM cards, pay for services or a fine, the requirement to urgently contact a specialist by phone, and, as a rule, by mobile number.

Fraudsters also believe that the person who called them sincerely trusts the interviewee who offered to help, and it is much easier to deceive him, according to the Interior Ministry.

Earlier, on September 11, the Center for Digital Expertise of Roskachestvo reported that fraudsters began sending SMS messages to Russians about allegedly accessing crypto wallets with a large balance. When trying to withdraw funds, the system requires you to "upgrade your status" by adding real money to your account. At this stage, the attackers get the real money, and the "millions" in the account turn out to be false.
