The Ministry of Internal Affairs showed audio of a fraudulent scheme with a fake call from the military registration and enlistment office

The Ministry of Internal Affairs showed an audio fragment with the implementation of a fraudulent scheme with a call from the “military registration and enlistment office.”

The attackers contacted a 19-year-old young man under the pretext of clarifying data and replacing the registration certificate, asking him to name the code from the message.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs emphasized that real military registration and enlistment office employees do not call citizens with offers to sign up for the electronic queue using a code from SMS.

MOSCOW, October 1 - RIA Novosti. The Department for organizing the fight against illegal use of information and communication technologies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation showed an audio fragment with the implementation of a fraudulent scheme with a call from the “military registration and enlistment office.”

“The attackers contacted a 19-year-old young man under the pretext of clarifying data and replacing his registration certificate. To make an appointment at the military commissariat, he was asked to name the code from the message, which, according to legend, is the number of the “electronic summons,” the message says.

Law enforcement officers emphasized that such a scheme is especially relevant during the autumn conscription period.

“Then I will send you the summons number, you come to the military registration and enlistment office and, therefore, replace the military registration document already on the territory of the military registration and enlistment office. Look, please, have you received the summons number? It should be sent to you through the verification service,” the fraudster says in the video published on the department’s channel on the Max platform.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs noted that it is impossible to check the presence of a subpoena directly in a separate application or section of the State Services portal - the texts of the subpoenas themselves are placed in a special register of subpoenas in Russia.
