⚠️ Scammers are reportedly retaliating against Russians who refuse to fall for their schemes.

They launch SMS bombing attacks, flooding victims with messages and calls, and even send small money transfers with provocative comments like “for drugs” or “for selling a bank card.” 📱 Such tactics can trigger account freezes and lead to lengthy investigations.

[⚠️ Context — Russian banks rely on automated anti-fraud systems that may freeze accounts when suspicious transfers or provocative payment comments appear, even if the recipient did nothing wrong. Against a backdrop of rapidly growing online fraud in Russia — where scam calls, phishing, and social-engineering schemes affect large numbers of users — criminals have begun exploiting these safeguards themselves.
⚠️ Why it matters — The tactic turns strict financial monitoring into a tool of pressure, leaving victims to deal with blocked accounts and lengthy checks. For Russian audiences, such stories reflect how the scale of digital fraud has reshaped everyday financial risk, shifting scams from simple theft toward psychological and administrative disruption.]

❄️ Hundreds of Estonians are reportedly waiting 7–9 hours at the border to enter Russia ahead of February 23.

According to SHOT, long lines have been forming at the Russia–Estonia crossing since February 20, with people standing in temperatures of around −15°C for hours to pass through the checkpoint. 🚧

The surge is linked to a new decree by Estonian authorities: starting on the 24th, border crossings with Russia will be allowed only during daytime hours. As a result, many travelers rushed to cross in advance — some planning to visit relatives for Defender of the Fatherland Day.

Bus carriers are also set to cancel evening and night routes on the Tallinn–St. Petersburg line from February 24. 🚌
