In Dnipro, fraudsters have devised a new way to extort money from Ukrposht customers. Criminals are sending phishing SMS messages, informing recipients that they need to pay customs fees of 30 hryvnias for a package.
At Ukrposht, officials are warning that this is a scam. Criminals are creating fake websites that mimic the official resources of the postal operator, with the aim of obtaining access to users' personal data and the details of their bank cards.
Ukrzposhta urges citizens not to click on suspicious links in SMS messages and not to enter banking card details on unverified websites. Information about their shipments should only be checked through the official channels of the postal operator: the ukrposhta.ua website or the "Ukrzposhta 2.0" app.
If citizens have already entered payment information on a suspicious website, they should immediately contact their bank.
