Fake patriotic event invitations expose scam targeting Khabarovsk residents

Residents of Khabarovsk Krai have received suspicious invitations for a patriotic celebration. The messages claim to honour defenders of the motherland but have been exposed as a scam by local authorities.

The venue mentioned in the invitations is already booked for another event at the same time. Authorities have stated that no such patriotic celebration has been planned in the region. Residents are warned not to click on any links in the messages. They are also advised against sharing personal details in response to these fraudulent invitations.

Experts have classified the invitations as a clear scam. Local authorities continue to urge caution and remind the public to verify suspicious communications. No official event of this nature is scheduled to take place.
