Every day in Ukraine, on average, 10,000-15,000 citizens go to phishing sites, all of these people can potentially become victims of fraudsters. Approximately two-thirds of the phishing sites detected by the NBU Cyber Protection Center (68%) originate from the Russian Federation. A large part of these resources offer Ukrainians to apply for financial assistance!
People not only lose money, but also replenish the wallets of the occupiers, who can then use this money for the war against Ukraine.
How to avoid fraud?
Get information only from official sources. If you applied for assistance, expect a notification about the charge in your bank’s application or on the portal or in the Diya application. We also provide links to current financial aid programs from the UN and partners: http://surl.li/hrftu.
Always keep secret:
- three-digit number on the back of the card;
- card pin code;
- Internet banking login and password;
- codes of banks and mobile operators.
- Do not follow questionable hyperlinks;
- Do not enter payment card details on unfamiliar and suspicious websites.
Use to check links and sites:
cyber police service “STOP FRAUD“: https://cyberpolice.gov.ua/stopfraud/;
service of the “EMA” Association CheckMyLink: https://check.ema.com.ua/.
IMPORTANTLY! The fraud scheme may be brand new or well-disguised. Therefore, in addition to checking the site through the “STOP FRAUD” cyber police service and the CheckMyLink service, also conduct your own check.
Do not agree to the registration of financial assistance through a chatbot.
Do not agree to pay the state duty for the registration of financial assistance, only fraudsters offer this!
Remember, fraudsters create websites that visually resemble the websites of banks, government agencies, international organizations and charitable foundations.
