Caution: Online fraud incidents are on the rise

ATMOS draws users’ attention to the increasing activity of internet fraudsters. Criminals are more frequently using phishing websites, fake credit and investment offers, financial pyramids, as well as malicious files to gain access to your money or personal data. 

Fraudulent schemes are becoming more sophisticated: bank and payment service websites are being replicated, fake advertisements lead to phony payment forms, and messages are increasingly disguised as official notifications.

How to protect yourself and your data

• Do not follow suspicious links or QR codes.
• Never share PIN codes, one-time SMS codes, or passwords under any circumstances.
• Check the website address before entering data - even a small error in the domain name can be a sign of phishing.
• Ensure that the financial company has a valid license.
• Do not trust promises of "quick and easy money."
• Never send advance payments to unfamiliar individuals or organizations.

What to do if you’ve fallen victim to scammers

If you notice any suspicious transactions or realize that you have provided personal data to fraudsters, act immediately:

1. Contact your bank and block your card.
2. Change passwords for all services where they may have been compromised.
3. Contact the police and provide all available evidence.

Protect your data. Stay vigilant online - your security starts with your awareness.

The ATMOS team always reminds: trust only verified sources.
