Group 1: Scam Methods - Scammers pose as representatives from organizations like "Confidential Bureau" or "Banking Supervision" to contact victims via phone, claiming that their "no-password payment" feature has been activated and will incur automatic charges if not canceled [1][2]. - Victims are directed to download software with screen sharing or remote control capabilities, allowing scammers to manipulate their devices and extract sensitive information such as bank passwords and verification codes [1][2].
