The expert noted that when they tried to subscribe to an online cinema through third-party sites, they were offered lessons from “info gypsies”.
Users redirected to the course website, without realizing it, enter their data and pay a symbolic amount of 1 ruble for the promotional subscription. But instead of the expected online cinema, they receive a subscription to cryptocurrency education.
