2. Offer to extend the contract: In the conversation, they say that in connection with the fight against "gray" SIM cards, contracts are terminated. You are offered to extend the agreement for 1, 3, 5 years or indefinitely (forever), and are also offered various options (categories) for connecting a bonus (cashback), such as increasing the volume of Internet or 15% of the payment.
3. SMS notifications from Ucell: during the conversation, you receive an SMS message and the fraudsters claim that they have sent a new contract number via SMS, which consists of 4 digits. They ask for a code to renew the contract and claim that they are acting on behalf of the operator.
4. In fact, an SMS from Ucell: In fact, the SMS message with the code is intended for authorization in the Ucell mobile application.
