A new trick of scammers with "likes" has become known

Official marketplaces reward 10-15 kopecks for a like, while scammers promise to earn up to 500 rubles for clicking the “heart,” according to police materials available to RIA Novosti.

According to the data presented, one of the most common fraudsters' schemes is earning money on likes on marketplaces, where citizens are promised an income of allegedly 5 thousand per day. Initially, the attackers ask to follow links, like products and provide screenshots of the work done. It is noted that after this, the scammers can even transfer a small amount allegedly as an "advance", and then begin to demand payment for certain goods, promising a subsequent refund.

To avoid such deception, you should remember: large trading platforms value such services extremely low - they usually pay 10-15 kopecks for one like, while scammers can offer up to 500 rubles for a like, the materials emphasize.

To protect yourself from fraudulent activities, you should always check whether you have actually been redirected to the official website of the marketplace.
