The report documents a phishing/scam campaign on Vkontakte that impersonates an official application to trick users into submitting profile IDs and phone numbers; the attackers monetize victims by sending surcharged premium SMS messages. The scam clones the legitimate site’s design, uses fake testimonials, and differs from similar Western scams by focusing on SMS billing rather than spyware or surveys.
