The fraudulent scheme was reported in the official telegram channel of the National Bank.

Messages appear on social networks in which scammers claim that the National Bank of Ukraine is allegedly holding a charity event together with the Your Support Foundation so that all Ukrainians are paid a "social-individual payment".

To fill out an application for the payment of such assistance, the attackers offer to switch to a fraudulent chatbot.

The NBU warns that attackers may offer to provide personal information and make an additional payment for assistance, as a result, payment card data may be compromised.

Under the pretext of making a payment, scammers may ask you to report:

• pin code to the card

• three-digit number on the back of the card

• card validity period, etc.

The National Bank notes that it does not make any social payments.

Currently, the NBU is holding a charity event to raise funds to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But it does not involve payments.

The scammers are ruthlessly taking advantage of Ukrainians' predicament during the war and continue to offer fake payouts. Ukrainian banks publish all official information on their websites or in their own social networks.
