      A Yekaterinburg resident told the E1.RU portal that scammers called her mother on behalf of a service provider via Telegram. The con artists offered to switch to a more advantageous plan.

      "They suggested calling back on WhatsApp, started a video call and screen sharing. At some point, she had to enter a password, which her mother didn't share, but thanks to the screen sharing, the scammer saw it," E1.RU quotes the Urals resident.
