MOSCOW, May 14 - RIA Novosti. Fraudsters have started calling Russians on behalf of employees of marketplace pick-up points offering to deliver previously ordered goods to their homes - however, they require SNILS, INN and sometimes even a code from an SMS, Daria Verestnikova, CEO of the cybersecurity company STCrypt (SafeTech Group), told RIA Novosti. "Fraudsters regularly improve and update their methods of taking money from the population. Recently, a scheme has been gaining popularity when they call you allegedly from a marketplace pick-up point and offer to deliver ordered goods to your home. However, to arrange delivery, you need to provide personal data: SNILS, INN and sometimes even a code from an SMS," Verestnikova said. After the user talks to the pick-up point employee and provides data "for delivery", he receives a call allegedly from "Comrade Major" with a message about the hacking of "Gosuslugi". He convinces the victim that his money is in danger, so it must be urgently transferred to a special account or given in cash to the police. In this case, the user's account is not even touched, and the SMS comes from a fake number. The expert explained that this scheme for deceiving users works because people have a strong idea in their minds that with the help of a "Gosuslugi" account, they can easily take out a loan and end up without any money at all. "Fraudsters-social engineers take advantage of the fact that with the help of Gosuslugi, you can now use not only state, but also commercial services (for example, take out a microloan, sign documents, etc.), and all security ultimately comes down to the code in the SMS. And in this case, fraudsters do not even need to get real access - it is enough to simply mislead the citizen," Verestnikova added.
