ArmInfo.Recently, cases of fraud against bank card holders and attempts to deceive users through messengers and social networks have become more frequent in Armenia. In particular, as stated in the official report of the company Viber, only since the beginning of the year in Armenia, more than 1.2 thousand accounts of this messenger have been blocked with signs of fraud, which users have complained about.
It is reported that most often scammers call or write to users from fake accounts of various banks and present themselves as their employees, while the bank's logo is used as a photo of such an account, and the name of the account in the messenger is identical to the name of the organization. In the process of communication, attackers try to find out the details of their bank cards from users under various pretexts. If you receive suspicious calls or messages from bank employees or representatives of any other organizations that try to obtain confidential information, Viber recommends that you stop the conversation and call the number listed on your bank's official website or on the back of your bank card
