Increasingly, malicious actors are gaining citizens' trust by impersonating: bank employees, law enforcement officers, tax officials; mobile network operators; postal workers, utility company and enterprise employees; brokers; employers.
Scammers talk about money: they offer to save savings, declare funds, invest in an investment project, or extend a profitable contract with a mobile operator.They ask for bank card details, logins and passwords, codes from SMS messages.
They transfer you from one fake "specialist" to another.
Scammers lure with attractive offers: they suggest clicking on a dubious link, installing an unknown program, or granting access to the phone screen.
They pressure you: they set conditions, rush you, so that there is no time to think everything through.
They provoke emotions: they delight with sudden benefits, frighten with the loss of money or a criminal case for violating the law.
