Attempts of fraud conducted in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia have become active again. Citizens continue to receive fake messages sent in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Road Police via the iMessage system. This was reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, emphasizing that the messages are mainly sent from foreign phone numbers and contain fake links mimicking official websites.
Through these, fraudsters attempt to obtain citizens' personal and banking information with the aim of misappropriating financial resources.
"We remind once again: if you receive such messages, it is necessary to observe the following security rules:
• Do not open links contained in such messages.
• Do not provide personal and banking information.
• Verify the authenticity of the information only from official sources of government bodies.
• Block the sender's phone number or email address and mark the message as unwanted (Spam/Junk).
• If you have already provided banking information, immediately contact your bank and inform the police," the message disseminated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs states.
