The Pension Fund of Ukraine, together with the Cyber Police Department, draw attention to the fact that unknown persons have spread information in online media (especially in Telegram channels) that starting in February 2025, pensions will be adjusted and will increase by almost one and a half times.
Manipulative ads with catchy headlines and links to fake websites have been revealed - scammers invite pensioners to fill out a questionnaire. Entering your personal and banking data is extremely dangerous.
In order to avoid becoming victims of fraud, we urge you not to click on or open such links for your own safety.

Recalculations of pension payments due to changes in legislation are carried out without additional requests from citizens: no data is required to be filled in, especially taking into account this distribution!
