According to information provided by the city administration, scammers are contacting residents, posing as the mayor or city hall employees. They exploit the trust in officials to extort money or gain access to citizens' personal information.
In response to these actions, the Kant city administration has issued an official statement emphasizing that the mayor and city hall employees never use personal messages in messengers to collect money, request bank transfers, or confidential data.
Authorities urge citizens to be vigilant and follow recommendations for digital security:
- avoid clicking on suspicious links received through messengers.
- do not share personal information, bank card numbers, and passwords with strangers.
- ignore financial requests coming from personal pages of alleged "officials."
If you receive such messages, the city administration strongly urges you not to engage in correspondence with scammers and to promptly contact law enforcement authorities.
