Do not get caught! Scammers imitate the services of renting scooters and saps

Krympress reports:

From May 20, hackers registered more than 20 sites mimicing for renting bicycles, scooters and water technology like Sapov, reported TASS In the company to manage digital risks Bi.zone. Experts associate this with the beginning of the summer season.

Experts also note the appearance of fraudulent groups and bots on the rolling topic in Telegram — there they are also in progress that vehicles can be rented at a price below the official one.

The summer season is traditionally accompanied by a surge in the short -term rental of urban transport — scooters, bicycles, sapov. Cyber ​​dexterns actively use this, creating fake sites that visually copy well -known rental services. Users are attracted by “seasonal discounts”, promotions and minimal rental rates. The main goal of attackers is to get bank cards data and personal information— explained the member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, the Federal Coordinator of the Digital Russia party project Anton Nemkin.

At the same time, such phishing sites often spread not through classic channels, but through instant messengers, especially Telegram. Fraudsters create fake groups and bots, where they actively simulate live activities, publish fake reviews and even advise “clients” in chat. This increases the trust of users, especially young people who are accustomed to this method of interaction, ”the deputy added.

Technically, such sites are increasingly done at a high level: HTTPS, advanced design are used, and domain names are almost no different from the originals. At the same time, most users do not have cybergigiene skills to quickly recognize a fake — especially in a situation where a person simply wants to quickly rent a scooter in the park, Nemkin emphasized.

For protection, it is important to use only official applications and proven sources of links. It is also worth remembering: if the rental price is too underestimated, especially compared to well -known aggregators, this is already an alarming signal. It is necessary to quickly identify such resources and block them in order to prevent large -scale fraudulent campaigns in the peak season— concluded the parliamentarian.
