Russian spammers are mastering a new type of petty fraud. They offer Internet users to pay off their importunity, paying only $ 1 for future peace. For this, a special account has been opened in one of the banks of Rostov-on-Don.
Experts are of the opinion that such proposals should not be trusted, because they are just a ploy of blackmailers, which will probably be followed by a series of attempts to "make money". “This is equivalent to a situation when a person comes to you on the street and says:“ Give me 30 rubles, and I will leave, ”” illustrates the find, Mikhail Ushakov, head of the Yandex press service.
"New News"describe the working scheme of scammers: first, an intensive bombardment by advertising spam is carried out - a person may have about 50 such letters per day. And then there are reports that there is a panacea for evil: “The simplest operation, and you will forget about advertising forever” - assure spammers. “It is possible to forget,” as noted, after transferring one dollar to the bank or virtual account of the sender.
Obviously, having collected a tribute, spammers will not go out of their dubious path and will not stop making money on unfair advertising. Surely spam will continue to come regularly - except from other addresses. At the same time, blackmailers do not risk anything by making the described attempts to earn money.
Even blackmail from the point of view of the law cannot be called a simple scheme, lawyers say. Since the corpus delicti can only be seen if the requested amount is more than 100 rubles. Thus, the garbage men found the prospect of not only great, but also quite legitimate earnings.
