In the last few years, the popular scam scheme with calls from banks has lost its effectiveness. The population is already trained by bitter experience and hangs up as soon as they hear the statement about the security service. Therefore, phone attackers have to invent new ways of divorce – banks in the past, now in the process of calls from mobile operators.

Kyivstar, Vodafone, lifecell – can be promoted by anyone. The cheater pretends to be an employee of the operator and plays one of the pre-planned dialogues. Often it is offered to change the tariff to a more favorable one, participate in the promotion and get a discount, connect an additional option or add a bank card.

The ultimate goal of the scammers is to force the victim to search for SMS codes or enter the necessary USSD command to access the personal account on the operator’s website and have calls and messages forwarded to another number. Through the personal account, you can transfer money to another account, make payments and even withdraw a bank loan with referral.

Officials from mobile operators have already commented on what is happening. They remind that company employees will never ask the subscriber to call SMS codes or enter suspicious USSD commands. After hearing such a request, you should end the dialogue and contact the real support number on the official website to clarify the situation.
