Dear Customers!

The Bank of Russia records an increase in the activity of hackers who advertise their services on the Internet against the background of restrictive measures to combat the pandemic. In particular:
- illegal Forex dealers registered abroad and working from foreign Internet sites. Consumers who entrust funds to such Forex dealers almost always lose money.
- illegal lenders who take advantage of the fact that many people have reduced incomes, call potential "clients "and offer them" money on credit without certificates and guarantees".
the so - called "redolently" —companies that offer to citizens for a fee to solve problems with creditors.

We urge you to be careful and do not trust the offers of illegal companies. By using their services, You can only make the situation worse, because fraudsters use aggressive illegal methods of recovery and do not fulfill their obligations. Extremely tempting conditions (very low interest rates on "loans" and very high — on "deposits") are often signs of fraud.

Fraudsters can also promise citizens various kinds of payments or compensation, send them emails with links to malicious sites. Such offers are always followed by an attempt to find out the person's Bank card details or force the citizen to make a payment (allegedly tax, fine, insurance, etc.) to a certain person. If strangers try to find out Your Bank card details under any pretext, or force You to make a payment, you should immediately stop communicating.
