A new wave of fraudulent mailings in messengers has been recorded in Ukraine. Criminals are sending mass messages about alleged "compensation" in the amount of 2,200 hryvnias from Oschadbank and NEK Ukrenergo .
The press service of Oschadbank reported the increase in fraudsters. The bank warns that the messages contain links to a fake website — a phishing page that looks like the official resource of a financial institution or state-owned company.
After clicking on the link, users are asked to enter their full bank card details: number, expiration date, and CVV code, and confirm the transaction with a one-time code from an SMS message. In reality, this is how fraudsters gain access to the account and can debit all funds.
Experts emphasize that phishing sites often look as believable as possible — using logos, corporate colors, and the style of official pages. However, no government payments or compensation are issued through messengers requesting full card details.
Oschadbank emphasizes that the financial institution does not charge any compensation for third-party links in Telegram, Viber or other messengers. Ukrainians are urged not to follow suspicious links, not to transfer confidential data to third parties and to check information only on official resources.
