One of the most popular schemes is benches. Fraudsters create a game, and then promote it in instant messengers and social networks. The player needs to perform simple actions for which intra -game tokens are accrued, which, as the organizers of the schemes assure, the player will be able to convert into cryptocurrency. To earn more, the user is offered to buy a “premium package” or “pump” the character for real money. However, when the user is trying to withdraw funds, he is again proposed to replenish the game account.
Another scheme – attackers create fake platforms, offering users to withdraw tokens earned in the game or get bonuses. To do this, people are asked to log in through Telegram or tie a crypto -coolant. As a result, scammers hack player accounts and steal assets. In addition, scammers distribute malicious programs masking for other crypto projects, and after installing the sid fraza infected with cryptocurns infected.
The Office for the Organization of the Continuing use of Information and Communication Technologies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that scammers have become especially active in connection with the launch of the second season of the Hamster Kombat playing game. Such applications are not a safe way to earn money, the police assured.
Last year, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported fraudsters stolen by Hamster Kombat users. The scammers sent phishing links, trying to convince users of the quick withdrawal of earned funds from the game.
