Law enforcement warns of a fraudulent scheme: criminals offer easy money, demand funds, and then disappear. Police advise checking vacancies and not disclosing bank card details.

Users are offered simple online tasks with a small reward, and after that, money is demanded and they disappear with it. Law enforcement officers advise checking vacancies and not transferring bank card data, writes UNN with reference to Kyiv police.

  • choose only verified vacancies with official employment;
