Scammers Deceive Parents Ahead of Children's Day
June 1st, International Children's Day, is approaching. At this time, many families look forward to festive events and gifts. However, experts warn that internet scammers have become more active in the run-up to the holiday. They are using this date to deceive parents and steal their money.
Criminals send out fake messages on behalf of educational organizations and government agencies. These letters often mention new social payments, benefits, or free gifts for children. To receive the promised bonus, the person is invited to follow a link to a special website.
On such pages, users are asked to enter personal data or a bank card number. If a person enters this information, scammers gain access to their bank account. Often, these sites look very professional and are almost indistinguishable from official resources, which misleads people.
Cybersecurity specialists advise being extremely careful. You should not open links from suspicious emails or enter confidential data on unfamiliar resources. It is better to check all information about payments and holiday promotions on the official portals of government agencies or schools.
It is important to remember that official organizations never request bank card details via messengers or email. Be careful on the internet and warn your loved ones so that the holiday passes joyfully and without financial losses.
