Fake messages on social networks are spread by fraudsters – this is how administrators try to increase the reach of communities.

Specialists of the Voxcheck fact-checking project report on the activity of fraudsters in social networks – they spread the message that the European Union allegedly “allocated $600 million to help Ukrainians during the winter”, taking into account that “every citizen can count on a payment of 13,280 hryvnias”. This is a fake.

“In order to find out more information about help, the messages offer to go to the link to Telegram channels. Also in the image there is a logo of the state program called Support,” they write on the Voxcheck website.

Community admins increase activity and comments by misleading payout messages:

“The authors of the messages provide a link to the Telegram channel, which seems to have more detailed information. However, the link leads to a private channel that can only be accessed by request. This is how the authors of messages increase the number of subscribers.”

In the worst cases, fraudsters can gain access to your personal information – documents or financial cards.

We remind you that applications for assistance from international organizations are made through the eSupport program or at certain banks. The first stage has been completed, so applications are not being accepted at all.
