New kind of divorce - help the girl
Recently discovered a new way that fraudsters with the assistance of operators earn a living.
The bottom line is this: you receive a message from a pretty girl (for girls, I think messages come from guys) with a proposal to meet / meet / call you. The girl complains that she is not very friendly with the Internet, and offers to call to chat or arrange a meeting. Your phone asks your phone and with the phrase “I’ll go I will put money on the phone to call you” disappears ...
In the meantime, an SMS from a short number similar to the following is sent to your phone:
You, as a person accustomed to spam, shrug your shoulders and forget for a while ... but then she appears!
She apologizes terribly for her carelessness and tells you that she confused your phone number with hers (they are so similar!) When you replenished your account through the terminal and now she needs a confirmation code so that the payment is credited to the phone, otherwise everything is gone! And only you as a true gentleman can save her by saying the access code.
')
Well, of course, you, as a true gentleman, save a lady and after a short conversation she disappears ... and after a day, you will suddenly be charged 300 rubles from your account.
What's really going on
In fact, there is no inattentive girl. There is a fraudster who has created his service, paid on a subscription basis, when a phone number is entered on the site, and then based on the access code, you confirm your consent and subscribe to a paid service, where you will be charged money automatically without sending any SMS . He will kindly enter on the site first your phone number, and then the confirmation code - anything for your money.
In the text of the SMS that comes to you, there is no indication of the cost, the fact of a subscription, even the site, whose name could alert you - everything is done so that you do not suspect anything! Be careful.
