How the Fuel Pass scam works
Citizens are receiving text messages on their mobile phones that appear as official notifications about fuel subsidies, specifically regarding the Fuel Pass program, whose platform has not yet opened and is expected to launch on April 6th. The messages include links that scammers urge citizens to click, with the goal of stealing personal and banking information. This method falls under so-called “phishing” attacks, where perpetrators attempt to gain access to sensitive data through deception.
