Financial assistance from international organizations: Ukrainians warned about new fraud schemes.
Increase in financial assistance fraud in Ukraine
Cases of electronic fraud with financial assistance have become more frequent in Ukraine, reports "Right to Protection". Many citizens and organizations are trying to provide financial support to those in need, but fraudsters are developing increasingly sophisticated schemes of deception.
"Due to the large number of various financial assistance programs being implemented on the territory of Ukraine, cases of electronic fraud have become more frequent!", - warns the organization.
In this regard, Ukrainians are urged to be vigilant. The following rules are recommended to prevent fraud:
- Do not share bank card data, personal accounts, CVV code, or other information important for making payments with third parties or over the Internet.
- Avoid clicking on suspicious links and always check the authenticity of the information.
It is noted that the only official resource for receiving assistance online is the eHelp website http://aid.edopomoga.gov.ua/ (the link should look exactly like this).
"We do not provide links to banking systems and do not cooperate with banking institutions! Any link to a bank is a fraud and an attempt to steal your money! Be vigilant and careful!", - warns the organization.
It is also worth refraining from posting personal data in a public chat and not sharing personal data with outsiders. Only share information upon direct request from the administrator.
Be attentive and do not trust suspicious messages from unknown individuals trying to steal your funds.
Let us remind you that some Ukrainians will receive up to 11 thousand hryvnias in assistance.
