A new type of divorce - help a girl

    Recently discovered a new way in which scammers, with the help of operators, earn their living.

    The bottom line is: a message from a pretty girl comes to you in ICQ / PM (for girls I think messages come from guys) with a proposal to meet / meet / phone. The girl complains that she is not very friendly with the Internet, and offers to phone to chat or make an appointment. She asks your telephone number and with the phrase “I’ll go put my money on the phone to call you” disappears ...

    Meanwhile, an SMS from a short number of approximately the following content comes to your phone:
    Код для активации вашего доступа - 12345. Справки по tel 8-800-3339008
    You, as a person accustomed to spam, shrug your shoulders and forget for a while ... but here she appears!

    She terribly apologizes for her carelessness and tells you that she mixed up your phone number with her (they are so similar!) When she replenished her account through the terminal and now she needs a confirmation code so that the payment is credited to the phone, otherwise everything is lost! And only you, as a true gentleman, can save her by saying the access code.

    Well, of course, you, as a true gentleman, save a lady and after a short conversation she disappears ... and after a day 300 rubles are suddenly written off from your account.

    What really happens

    In fact, there is no inattentive girl. There is a scammer who created his own service, paid on a subscription basis, when the phone number is entered on the site, and then on the basis of the access code you confirm your consent and subscribe to a paid service, wheremoney will be withdrawn from you automatically without sending any SMS . He will kindly enter your phone number on the site, and then the verification code - anything for your money.

    In the text of the SMS that comes to you, there is no indication of the cost, the fact of a subscription, even to a site whose name might alert you - everything is done so that you do not suspect anything! Be careful.
