Scammers on the eve of Teacher's Day began to use a scheme with flower delivery

The attackers have mastered a new deception scheme by Teacher's Day: a real bouquet is delivered to a teacher or parent, allegedly from an unknown sender, and the next day the victim receives a call from the "delivery service" asking him to dictate the SMS code. ""Alexandra Pozharskaya, deputy head of the project of the Popular Front "For Borrowers' Rights" and the Moshelovka platform, announced this on September 22.

"A person — often the teacher or parent himself — receives a real bouquet with a courier who does not ask for anything in return. The next day, they allegedly call from the delivery service and ask them to give the SMS code "to confirm delivery," Pozharskaya said in an interview with TASS.

According to her, with the help of a real bouquet, attackers inspire trust: the recipient feels obligated and is more willing to dictate a code that opens access to "Public Services", a banking application or a messenger. "" In some cases, the scheme continues with a call from the "security forces", informing about the hacking of the account and encouraging the victim to withdraw cash and transfer it "for security."

The press service of the "Moshelovka" platform of the Popular Front also warned on September 20 that fraudsters could pose as representatives of official employers and post vacancies for students on social networks. After fictitious employment, they offer to issue a salary card in order to gain access to personal bank accounts and steal funds.
