New online fraud scheme targets Moldovans

Moldovan police are warning citizens about a new type of online fraud scheme. According to authorities, citizens are receiving messages with false information, requesting additional data to claim a supposed package.

In addition to the text, the messages contain a link that redirects to a fraudulent website, where users are asked to enter their banking information or other personal data. Police are recommending that citizens do not open the links, do not respond to these messages, or enter their banking information.
