Mail.Ru has added the function of sending money between mailboxes. To send money, you just need to know the recipient’s e-mail and indicate your own number bank card where the funds will be taken from. You don’t need to know the recipient’s card number or the name of his bank - he will indicate all this himself when he receives the letter.

Transfers to Mail.Ru

Mail.Ru mail now has the function of sending a money transfer to the address Email. To make a transfer, the sender only needs to know the recipient’s e-mail, and it does not have to be a mailbox in the Mail.Ru system. The function is available both on the mail website and in the mobile version.

There are no restrictions on the purpose of use: it can be not just transfers of money to loved ones, but also payment for purchases. Technical processing of translations is carried out by Mail.Ru Group and VTB. According to Anna Artamonova, Vice President of Mail.Ru Group, Head of the Mail and Portal business unit, the main advantage of the new service is that to make a transfer, the sender does not need to know either the bank card number or the name of the recipient’s bank.

As Mail.Ru explained at the request of CNews, the commission for making the transfer is charged by the partner bank, Mail.Ru itself receives nothing except “user convenience.” For VISA and Mir systems the commission is 1%, the minimum is 50 rubles. For MasterCard and Maestro systems the commission is 0.6% plus 20 rubles.

What does it look like

The money transfer is attached to email in the same way as an image or other file. You can “invest” from 100 rubles in one letter. up to 75 thousand rubles. As Mail.Ru explained to CNews, the limit was dictated by security considerations, and the company hopes that most users will not notice it.

The user receives a notification about receiving a money transfer

To send a transfer, the sender needs to create a letter and click “Send money” on the toolbar. The system will request the number of the bank card from which funds should be withdrawn. The transaction will need to be confirmed using a one-time SMS code, since the system uses 3D Secure security technology. If the sender's intentions suddenly change, the transfer can be canceled.

From the recipient's side, the operation looks like this: He receives a letter notifying him that he has received a transfer. The system asks him for a bank card number to which funds can be credited. The recipient has five days from the moment the transfer is sent, otherwise the money will be returned to the sender's card.

According to a survey conducted by Mail.Ru in the fall of 2017, 72% of users agree to give up cash and pay all their expenses online. The survey was conducted among 10 thousand people. Implementing the concept of online payment, Mail.Ru added the ability to pay traffic fines to its mail service in the summer of 2017, and has now launched money transfers by e-mail.

Similar projects

In November 2013, Yandex also added to its service the ability to transfer money via email. Its difference, Mail.Ru representatives explained, is that the sender must have not only an account in Yandex.Mail, but also an electronic wallet in Yandex.Money. Anyone can receive a translation, regardless of what domain it is in Mailbox and whether it is connected to Yandex.Money.

To credit the transfer, the recipient must indicate his bank card number

The “money letter” is sent in the same way as a regular letter. The user selects the recipient's address, writes a message, but instead of a file, attaches the amount from his Yandex.Money account. After some time, a message about the transfer arrives at the specified address. Immediately after this, the recipient can transfer the entire amount to an electronic wallet (if he has Yandex.Money) or send it to a bank card (if he doesn’t have Yandex.Money or he just wants to withdraw funds).

In the first case, the money is credited instantly, in the second - within several business days (the period depends on the bank that issued the card). You can transfer to a card only if the amount exceeds 100 rubles. The recipient can send funds to a card issued by any bank.

The sender's commission for the transfer is 0.5% if the user sends money to email address, which is already linked to an existing electronic wallet, and 3% if the recipient of Yandex.Money is unknown.

Or on an Internet messenger like ICQ a message like this: “Dear Mr. So-and-so! In accordance with previously reached agreements with you, we transferred to your electronic wallet an amount equal to $50,000 for the previously agreed list of your company’s products.

Attached to this letter is a scan of the transfer receipt and details for obtaining data. Money You. With respect and hope for long-term cooperation, Executive Director of the holding company “Alice the Fox and Basilio the Cat, B. Kidaloff.”

And attached to the letter is a file with a name something like scan_oplata.jpg

The essence of the scam:

I don't think there's much need for explanation? It is clear that a virus or Trojan is attached to the letter. The user, trying to open the attachment, launches it for execution. The computer becomes infected, and all sorts of miracles begin: either money or a bank card goes to God knows where, then indignant colleagues and acquaintances begin to send letters saying that spam or viruses are being sent from your address, then other “miracles”.

Of course, if you have a normal antivirus installed on your computer software, and it is regularly updated, then there is nothing particularly to worry about, the virus will be blocked and deleted, but you always need to be careful, because sometimes antiviruses are unaware of fresh viruses that are only a few days old, and laboratories do not yet know about them. What happens if a virus or Trojan penetrates your computer is described above.

What is the meaning of the scam:

Social engineering is a set of methods used by scammers against a person - a user or computer administrator ( local network) for the purpose of receiving from him or performing or failing to perform any actions. Most often, passwords and access logins are defrauded using social engineering methods, and it is also used in the fraud method we describe in this article.

Conclusions:

Never open attachments in the form of files attached to messages arriving at an Internet messenger address, especially from correspondents you personally do not know. If a letter with an attachment came from a friend, ask him if he sent you any file, and only if the answer is positive, open the attachment.

Hi all! Recently, various types of mailing lists have begun to actively spread on the Internet. For example, you may receive letters to your email with tempting text about a money transfer from Associated Bank, or a sudden inheritance. Today we will tell you what it’s all about and what the global goal is behind such a newsletter.

Is there any danger from these letters?

So, first, let’s tell you when and how dangerous these letters can be. Under the guise of such “ advantageous offers”, “your application has been approved”, “transfer from Associated Bank”, several types of threats and dangers apply:

Never click on links like this! Be it a simple casino advertisement, or a tempting transfer from “Associated Bank”, which has nothing to do with a real financial institution. These incoming emails are, at best, spam; at worst, they contain a virus attachment.

It’s worth mentioning separately about links that lead to identical email resources, for example, meil.ru, gimail.com, etc. Getting there, a person sees again home page and the need to enter a password. This is how the personal data of an inattentive user falls into the hands of criminals.

How do scammers get your address?

This is the most interesting thing. Huge databases of real (working) addresses are sold online. Also, you probably leave your data on other websites (dating, message boards, promotions and other registration forms). Your email address may also be visible on social networks - hide it in your privacy settings. In case of such a need, it is better to use a secondary mailbox, which you specify during registration. It is he who will take on all this murky mailing.

How can I remove these incoming letters?

Unfortunately, if your mailbox is included in such a scam database, then it is impossible to remove the flow of such letters. You cannot block a sender at one address - they are always different. The only option would be filtering settings in your mail about moving them to Spam.

This way, all such messages will be sent to the spam folder and will not appear in front of your eyes. I hope you understand what these letters are about money transfers and inheritances come to your inbox and how you need to respond to them.

No one else will be able to use both of these addresses. If you receive letters from an unfamiliar address, the reasons may be: Sender error when specifying recipient address If you receive a letter from an unfamiliar sender, the sender may have made a mistake when specifying the recipient's address. You can inform the sender about the error or ignore such a letter. When registering on the site, someone indicated your address as a contact. On some sites you can register without confirming your email, so people may indicate someone else’s email address when registering. Even though this person has indicated your address on the site, he will not be able to use your mailbox. If you do not want to receive emails from this site: Contact the site administration and report that your address is listed on the site by mistake. If you receive a letter from a sender you know, sent to someone else's address rather than yours, then most likely your address is listed in the Bcc field. Such letters may be intended specifically for you. Contact the sender via another communication channel and verify that this letter was received correctly. In some cases, this may happen if another mailbox is configured to forward to your address. If forwarding is not set up by you, contact the administration of the service where the mailbox that forwards letters is located and attach a copy of the letter with its properties Write to support
