Fraudsters, who have started to take advantage of every opportunity they have found recently, have now started to hit citizens over electricity bills. The fraudsters, who sent various messages on social media and said that they started a campaign due to the high electricity bills in these messages, are emptying the bank accounts of the citizens by taking advantage of the sensitivity of the bills that have not been on the agenda recently.
As a matter of fact, the new technique of the scammers is also very simple. As always, scammers, who send messages to people through their stolen social media accounts, say that a campaign has been started to react to the hikes and that small help can be made to this campaign. So to speak, the intravenous line and “If you keep quiet, if I keep quiet, these price hikes will not end.” Fraudsters using expressions such as emptying the pockets of citizens through fake links they send.
Here is the message sent by the fraudsters
Cyber Security Expert Osman Demircan, who made statements on the subject, warned the citizens. In the statements made by Demircan, the following statements were included: These types of links come from people we know or have credibility. ‘Would you like to participate in our survey? We want to make our voice heard more,’ when these links are clicked, they direct you to a donation screen and you are asked to donate a small amount. If you give credit card or bank information because the number is small, your entire account can be emptied. Apart from that, your social media account can be hacked and they start to do such attacks by taking over your account. At this point, you need to be very vigilant.
One of the issues Osman Demircan mentioned is the possibility of a second attack on electricity bills, which is on the agenda. Considering this for sure, Demircan states that when the bills fall, a new technique will be developed and this time it will be claimed that people pay high bills, and that the name of the Presidency and the Ministry of Energy will be used. “Very likely they will do another social media attack.” Demircan said that the citizens should be careful.
