Ankara Cyber Crimes Unit Directorate warns citizens against scams conducted over the internet. According to experts, fraudsters can cause significant damage by gaining people's trust through various tactics.
With the rapid advancement of technology, internet usage is increasing every day. However, this increase also presents new opportunities for cybercriminals. Hasan Yavuz, an expert from the Ankara Cyber Crimes Unit Directorate, warns internet users to be cautious against fraudulent attacks.
Pay Attention to Cookie Settings!
Hasan Yavuz noted that internet users often allow cookies, which becomes an opportunity for fraudsters. Scammers attempt to deceive users by displaying ads on platforms like social media and news sites to capture their interest.
Fake Investment Offers
Scammers obtain personal information through ads that users click on. Then, they try to deceive victims by promising "high returns with low investment." Yavuz explained that these scammers constantly emphasize the legality of the transactions, convincing victims to deposit money into dummy companies.
Beware of Fake Investment Sites!
Yavuz stated that scammers create fake sites imitating real investment platforms and send the links to users. When users click on these links, they download APK files of fake investment sites.
During installation, permissions such as microphone, camera, and location are usually requested on the phone. Yavuz mentioned that granting unlimited permissions could allow scammers to access internet banking or private information.
Prefer Trustworthy Investment Companies
Yavuz emphasized that those willing to invest should check whether the company they are investing in is licensed. He pointed out that scammers often use the faces of famous individuals in advertisements. Additionally, he advised not to invest directly based on investment advice given on social media.
In conclusion, Yavuz reminded that investments made in unknown areas can be risky, and promises of easy money can lead to quick losses. It is crucial for citizens to be cautious and seek information from reliable sources.
