13-07-2026 16:26 Armenia Press release
Recently, there have been reports of theft incidents where fake advertisements are spreading on Facebook and Instagram in the name of "Telcell Wallet," offering citizens one month of free access to public transport in Yerevan.
After clicking on the links in the advertisements, citizens are required to enter the confirmation code sent to their phone number. As a result of providing the code, the criminals gain access to the "Telcell Wallet" account, after which they can steal both the funds available in the "Telcell Wallet" and the financial resources in the linked bank cards.
The Cyber Police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs urges:
• not to click on suspicious links shared on social networks, even if they are presented in the name of well-known organizations,
• not to provide confirmation codes received via SMS, passwords, or other confidential information,
• to perform actions related to "Telcell Wallet" only through the official application.
"Remember: scammers often use attractive offers, promises of free services or promotions to mislead citizens and gain access to their financial resources."
