Cyber fraudsters try to lure people into trap by creating fake websites on behalf of Azerpost LLC

The Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies warns citizens about fake websites created on behalf of Azerpost LLC.
 
Thus, a group of cyber fraudsters create fake websites similar to the official website of Azerpost LLC in order to obtain funds illegally. Their goal is citizens who sell various products on the pages of online stores. Cyber fraudsters write to these citizens from fake WhatsApp numbers as buyers and ask the seller to enter the bank card details by going to the fake site created on behalf of Azerpost LLC to make payment. When the citizen follows the link and provides bank card details, the funds on the account balance fall into the hands of cyber fraudsters.
 
The Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies warns citizens to be extremely careful in the cyberspace, not to fall prey to such cyber frauds. Thus, Electronic Security Service urges citizens not to follow the links indicated in messages from strangers, and to perform any operations by manually entering the web address of the organization’s official website on a new page opened in the browser.
 
Citizens who have believed these notifications and have already provided their bank details must immediately notify the bank of which they are clients and restrict the withdrawal of funds from their accounts.
 
Also, if you are faced with such a situation, please contact the Electronic Security Service under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and High Technologies via the website www.cert.az  or e-mail reports@cert.az.
