Scammers are posing as employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' service centers to swindle people out of their money
The Main Service Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in cooperation with the Cyber Police, is warning citizens about an increase in activity by scammers posing as government officials.
The scammers pose as service center employees and offer paid “assistance” in obtaining services.
Currently, several common schemes have been identified that cybercriminals are using to deceive drivers and prospective drivers across the country.
Most often, scammers offer citizens “fast-track” registration in the electronic queue of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ service center in exchange for money.
To carry out their schemes, they also create fake websites and chatbots that visually mimic official government resources almost exactly.
In addition, there have been reports of direct calls and messages demanding that people immediately provide confidential banking or personal information.
Law enforcement officials emphasize that official registration for services is completely free and is carried out exclusively through verified Ministry of Internal Affairs services.
