Fraudsters send fake messages to parents of teenagers about suspicious transactions using children's cards

Fraudsters began sending alarming messages to teenagers’ parents about suspicious transactions on their children’s cards and demanding that they urgently undergo an identity check, according to materials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which RIA Novosti reviewed.

It follows from them that parents of teenagers began to receive fraudulent messages about suspicious banking transactions on their children’s accounts and with the requirement to urgently “pass verification” on the website via a link.

By clicking on the link, a person ends up on a fake website, where he is asked for his passport details, login and password for a banking application, as well as other personal data.

Police warn to be careful not to enter bank details on third-party sites.
