Scammers have devised a new scheme targeting summer cottage owners.
Scammers have started offering fake kits to summer residents. People transfer advance payments, and the fraudsters disappear. This was reported by the "MTS Defender" service.
— According to analysts, the fraudsters offer "summer kits" at a special price, including food and household items for leisure outside the city, the service clarified to RIA "Novosti."
Scammers call summer residents on behalf of private companies and offer a ready-made kit: food, barbecue supplies, disposable tableware, and other items. If the potential victim shows interest, the fraudsters ask for an advance payment to reserve the kit and then vanish. The service reminded that legitimate companies do not require full advance payment over the phone and do not send payment links via SMS or messengers. Earlier, Russians were warned about new fraudulent schemes ahead of May 9.
