Fraudsters are sending messages to Ukrainians supposedly on behalf of Oschadbank about “loan debt.” What are the risks?

Ukrainians are receiving messages, presumably from Oschadbank, about «loan debt.» Even people who do not have active accounts with this bank are receiving notifications, the Center for Countering Disinformation reports. In addition to SMS messages, scammers are also creating fake chatbots where they communicate with Ukrainians, copying the corporate identity of the financial institution.

All this is done to criminally seize users' banking data for further illegal actions.

Experts warn that to protect yourself, never:

• do not click on links in such messages,
• don’t use fake chatbots,
• Do not enter your personal information and block the number of the sender from whom you received such an SMS.

For up-to-date information, users are advised to visit the official websites of banks.
