Armenia`s Ministry of Internal Affairs urges citizens to be vigilant  on social media

ArmInfo.  The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia urges citizens to be vigilant on social media.

The ministry's statement notes that various false statements posted  on social networks on behalf of different banks in the country have  recently become widespread. These statements are a means of obtaining  clients' banking information, issuing loans in their name, and  stealing money.  In a preventive video, the Ministry of Internal  Affairs revealed false information and fraudulent schemes being  spread on behalf of an Armenian bank. Similar criminal mechanisms  associated with other banks will be considered in the future  to  prevent their dissemination.

"Dear citizens, do not share your personal information and passwords  with anyone, do not click on unfamiliar links, do not trust  suspicious calls and pages on social networks. If you receive a  suspicious call, email or advertisement from a bank, contact their  call center. If you have been scammed, contact the police," the  message says.
