In the run-up to the final "11.11" sale and the large-scale "Black Friday" promotion across Belarus, internet fraudsters are becoming active.

Attackers create fake websites, post ads with tempting discounts and offer goods at low prices. After receiving the advance payment, they disappear, and fake links for payment and delivery can lead to the theft of money from cards.

Digital Security Rules:

  • Buy only on verified online platforms.
  • Check the website address and seller information.
  • Do not transfer advance payments to unknown persons.
  • Do not click on suspicious links.
  • Do not share bank card details and SMS codes with anyone.
  • Do not fall for artificial urgency and promises of incredible discounts.
  • If you have become a victim of fraud, immediately contact your bank and law enforcement agencies at phone number 102.

Stay vigilant and do not allow fraudsters to turn a beneficial purchase into financial losses.
