The Ministry of Internal Affairs warned about new schemes to involve Russians in crimes under the guise of noble actions

Fraudsters began to encourage Russians to commit crimes under the guise of exposing corrupt officials and other legal or noble actions, the press center of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs told TASS.

According to the agency, the attackers may convince people that they are helping the police detain criminals, are participating in an undercover operation, or must return stolen money. Fraudsters may also offer to commit a crime under the guise of carrying out an order from an employer or receiving money for a simple part-time job. The person may be asked to pick up or drop off a package.

In addition, a Russian may be involved in a crime if he provides a bank card for a so-called technical operation.
