about some current methods

1) PTT SMS: They directly copy the number and send SMS pretending to be from PTT with a foreign domain. They reach your bank account information by saying it's a cargo fee. 2) HGS payment: They redirect you to a site as if loading HGS balance and similarly access your account information to scam you via mail order. 3) Bank impersonation: They call pretending to be from bank X, say they observed suspicious activity and ask if you are trying to take a loan to panic you. Then, acting as a savior, they say you have been scammed and to save you, they ask you to take the loan first, promising to cancel it later, and ask you to transfer the money to a supposedly secure X bank IBAN, saying it will be refunded after the process. 4) Photo blackmail: They create a profile as the opposite sex and manipulate you into sending naked photos, then threaten to spread them to your circle using a panel system. 5) Dating apps: Similar to point 4, sometimes they arrange real meetings, take photos, or make you pay inflated bills at agreed businesses and then split the money with the business at the end of the night. 6) Enforcement or mediation: They introduce themselves as a law office and either say you have an enforcement case or accuse you of meeting someone under 18. To gain your trust, they say you are not at fault but if you pay a certain amount, the case will close without problems. After gaining trust, they set a time limit to create panic, telling you to send the money by 18:00, but the time is already very close. Preventive measures: Use antivirus apps and similar applications, pay attention to social media and general carbon footprint, avoid sharing family and private information on social media, do not use your full name, use pseudonyms, use locked accounts. Always check the extensions of links sent to you. Try to identify unreliable sites. Confirm the amount several times when shopping. Know how to use the UYAP site. This can happen to anyone; everyone earns through effort, so let's not lose attention and get upset.
