MVD Warns of Phone Scams Posing as Driving Schools to Steal One-Time Codes

Overview

• The Interior Ministry said callers pretend to be driving‑school administrators and request an authorization code to book lessons, activate an account, or confirm an exam.
• Once the code is given, scammers simulate a hack, claim a data leak, and introduce supposed officers who push victims to "save money" or take part in "investigative actions."
• Officials said attackers mine student names from open social pages, class chats, and public groups, and build fake Telegram channels and websites that advertise discounted spots or early enrollment with urgent prepayment to a personal card.
• Authorities urge people to delete suspicious messages, refuse to share one‑time codes, avoid calling listed numbers or clicking links, block unknown contacts, and alert classmates.
• Separately, a Russian lawyer reported a Gosuslugi‑branded email that cites a login from Kyiv and urges a call to a listed number, a claim not independently confirmed by police.
