The Ministry of Internal Affairs warned citizens about sophisticated schemes of telephone scammers

Instances of online theft of bank card data using new methods and technological developments have become more frequent in Azerbaijan. As Report informs, this is stated in a statement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in which citizens are warned against the actions of telephone scammers.

According to the department, the attackers use artificial intelligence to clone voices, imitating the manner of speech of close relatives, and also use imitated electronic numbers for calls. As a result, the scammers fraudulently obtain card data.

“If the caller introduces himself as your relatives and asks for bank card data, be sure to ask clarifying questions. This way you can make sure that this voice was not created using artificial intelligence. Once again, we remind citizens: never give out your bank card data. The security of your data depends on you,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said in its statement.
