Currently, leaders of the Federal Council and the Regional Economic Councils are concerned about the application of scams in messaging applications. Criminals are becoming more and more professional, and the novelty of the time is: sending messages pretending to be by the representatives of the financial institutions themselves, offering loans without charging rates. However, for this to happen, it is necessary to request a certificate of economic viability, which does not exist.

In this way, in order to try to demonstrate more veracity to the action, the scammers still provide help to the victims, charging a fee of up to BRL 900 to “perform” the procedure, claiming to use part of this amount to pay fees that the Council itself imposes. In this way, the success of the action becomes complete with the deposit that the victim makes in the thieves' account.
Due to the large number of cases, the specialized authorities are already taking the necessary measures, and it is necessary to warn the population about the importance of being attentive to all suspicious actions, mainly through websites or apps.
This type of scam is one of several that are taking place, and we can also mention the new professional card scam, applied through WhatsApp. Scammers invade the user's profile, pretending to be himself and asking others for money. That way, to try to convince them, they use a cloned professional portfolio, trying to make the story seem true.
The recommendations are the same for the other scams, but it is necessary to reinforce the importance of not provide personal data (number of documents, address, name, among others) in response to advertisements virtual.
Finally, it is worth remembering that there are no documents related to the certificate of economic viability. Thus, even being mentioned, it is necessary to be aware of the offer of advantageous messages, whether to obtain a good or service.
If you still have doubts about these dangerous actions, consult the Regional Economic Council of your state, so that the entity can help you.
