Beware of scammers!
23 July 2021
"Bank of Asia" CJSC reminds about the frequent cases of fraudulent operations for entering funds by providing fraudulent (phishing) sites for filling in personal / card data.
To date, the following scheme has been identified:
- Under the guise of a buyer, the Fraudster addresses the users of the ad service (sellers) and offers to buy their goods through the delivery service;
- If the Seller agrees/The cardholder sends a link to the fraudulent (phishing) website of the delivery service, and offers to fill in their card details on this site to process the shipment of goods and receive payment for their goods;
- After receiving the card data, the Fraudster binds this card in a payment instrument/electronic wallet/mobile banking, and requests a confirmation code via an SMS code / one-time password;
- Seller/The cardholder receives an SMS code/ one-time password to his phone number specified in the card system, and enters this code on the fraudulent (phishing) website of the delivery service to "complete the registration of sending and receiving money to his card". But, in fact, the Fraudster, by entering this SMS code/ one-time password, ties this card to an electronic wallet/ mobile banking and enters funds from the Seller's card/The card holder to your card.
