Experts explained that scammers conduct fake sweepstakes on behalf of the marketplace — they offer to "spin the drum" and get a guaranteed prize. After that, it turns out that in order to collect the winnings, you need to pay a commission, but in fact the person simply transfers the money without receiving anything in return.

In addition, scammers began to create phishing authorization pages, purchases or returns of goods on Ozon, and also contact users of the online platform under various pretexts and redirect them to special sites where they steal bank card data.
Among the techniques of scammers are the Ozon scam groups in social networks and messengers.
Experts advised to ignore links from strangers and always double-check the sender's addresses. Experts also noted that Ozon does not conduct closed sales or sweepstakes, and does not send links to pay for goods via private messages.
Recall that today it became known that suppliers of goods from China became victims of fraudsters due to problems with settlements in the Russian Federation. So, entrepreneurs gave scammers more than 50 million rubles for the services of intermediaries who promised help with paying for imports through accounts in "clean" banks.
