The automated scam service has been named Classiscam by Group-IB and it’s meant to help cybercriminals steal money and payment data from unsuspecting victims, through the use of fake pages mimicking those of legitimate classifieds, marketplaces and delivery services.
The Classiscam scheme is powered by Telegram chatbots, which generate a complete phishing kit, including courier URL, payment, and refund information. The chatbots also offer shops, where users can purchase accounts to marketplaces, manuals, e-wallets, mailings, and even lawyers.
