Kyiv • UNN
Fraudsters create fake links under the guise of financial assistance from international donors, such as IOM Ukraine, encouraging people to enter personal and payment information, which is a fraudulent practice.
Recently, attempts to commit fraud disguised as financial assistance from international donors have become more frequent in Ukraine. This is reported by UNN with reference to a statement by the Ministry of Reintegration.
Details
The agency explained that fraudsters are creating fake links to registration for financial assistance from the UN International Organization for Migration.
In this regard, IOM emphasizes that it never uses Google Forms to collect any personal data for the purpose of providing multi-purpose cash assistance. Do not enter payment card details on unfamiliar and suspicious websites and do not follow links from unreliable sources
In particular, never provide the following information:
- three-digit number on the back of the card (CVV/CVC code);
- card pin code;
- login and password for Internet banking;
- codes (one-time passwords) from the bank and mobile operators.
