Yandex.Money and O2 have become a tool in the hands of fraudsters, warns the traffic police of Udmurtia
Izhevsk Udmurtia. The traffic police of the Udmurt Republic asks car owners not to succumb to provocations of criminals. According to the press service of the ministry, there have recently been cases of fraud in the distribution of receipts allegedly on behalf of the state traffic inspectorate for the payment of fines, which were recorded by photo-video recording cameras working in automatic mode.
In Moscow and the Moscow region, 9 such cases have already been recorded. The scheme of fraud is as follows: the owner of the car receives a letter by mail, which contains the decision in the case of an administrative offense with a description of the violation of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation and the imposition of an administrative penalty in the form of a fine. On the back of the sheet there is a photograph of the car and a receipt with bank details for the payment of the fine, in which, in the column “recipient of the fine”, instead of “Federal Treasury Department”, scammers mainly use electronic payments from Yandex. Money ”(Yandex money),“ RBC-Money ”(RBKMoney),“ O2 ”and the like.
If the receipt raises doubts about the authenticity, you must contact the traffic police, warn the inspectors.

Did not exceed? Pay anyway

Motorists again came under the gun of scammers. This time they send fake speeding tickets, indicating their bank account.

The deception became known thanks to the attention of the capital motorist Marina Milanina. She received a receipt in the mail by which she had to pay a fine for speeding in the amount of 1000 rubles. The woman first received such a "letter of happiness", so she decided to study it in detail. The document is similar to this one - a description of the violation, photo proof and bank details with the recipient in the line - the traffic police of Moscow. Marina was warned by the fact that the address of the recipient does not belong to the traffic police department of Moscow, but of the Moscow region - these are two different institutions.

For clarification, she turned to the traffic police, who confirmed her doubts, - the receipt is fake. As explained by the head of the department of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate for the Moscow Region, Maxim Volnukhin, the signs of falsehood on this receipt are the absence of the signature of the official and his contact numbers, as well as a duplicate of the decrypted registration mark. In addition, in small print it is reported that the money will not be transferred to the Federal Treasury, but to someone’s RBK Money electronic wallet. A call to the payment system where the indicated account was registered put everything in its place: it turns out that the wallet belongs to ... Marina herself. That is, there should not have been suspicions on the part of the Internet bank - a person replenishes his account, that's all. But the whole point is that the failed victim of fraudsters did not open any accounts.

The following picture is drawn: fraudsters have two bases - the traffic police and Internet banking. And they also have a lot of time and desire to conduct photo and video shooting of all cars in a row. And then a painstaking search in the database of each car owner, whose car number is clearly visible in the photo. Then the matter remains for small - to drive his data into the developed standard form, similar to the original, and the establishment of a virtual account for the "intruder". Or in front of us are the geniuses of Photoshop, who are prone to draw the license plates they need on cars. In any case, the traffic police base could not have done without it. And, as you know, it can be bought on the black market, which has long been used by dishonest insurance companies.

This version was also confirmed in the affected bank - Tatyana Glazacheva, Business Development Director of RBK Money, suggested that the scammers are familiar with the work of payment systems. To establish a virtual wallet, it is enough to enter the last name, first name and date of birth, without presenting any identification documents and signing contracts. And this does not imply any liability to third parties.

Similar frauds were known before - but with payments for utilities, for the Internet and other payments familiar to citizens. Now the criminals decided to master a new niche. But since CCTV cameras do not respond to serious traffic violations, fraudsters have nowhere to turn around. All they can count on is replenishment of accounts for 300-1000 rubles.

Note that this fine ticket is sent only by registered mail, it can not be in the mailbox. The recipient cannot be a commercial organization, and even more so an individual. On the sent paper should be indicated the contact numbers of the traffic police, by which you can verify the authenticity of the fine. In the photo, the license plate of the car should be read clearly. The document must necessarily indicate the date, time and place where the picture was taken.

The head of the traffic police department in the Moscow region advised contacting the traffic police department, where the request will be redirected to the video recording center. If the fact of a fake is confirmed, it is necessary to contact the law enforcement authorities to supplement the case file. The more complaints from citizens will be received, the faster the scammers will be found.
