The fraudulent scheme is distributed on several sites designed according to a single template and registered from March 18 to April 4, F6 experts said.
On sites, users see the logo of the digital ruble and a chat boot with a “personal manager”, reporting on the possibility of making a profit of 100,000 rubles in just a few days from investment in the asset. The minimum amount of “investment” is 10,000 rubles.
Under the pretext of calculating the profit of customers, they are asked to answer questions indicating age, labor status, and income range. In addition, the chat both asks the name, surname and contact phone number.
Fraudsters use the received data during the call of people, convincing the deposit and promising significant profits. Any transfers lead to irrevocable loss of invested funds, experts F6 warned.
Earlier, the sources of the Frank Media publication in the banking market reported that the Bank of Russia was going to postpone its own digital currency (CBDC) until mid -2026. The regulator discusses the transfer of launch with bankers participating in testing the digital ruble.
