A source from the Cheka-OGPU said that the executive director of the largest insurance company SOGAZ became a victim of telephone scammers. Back on November 3, “bank employees” called 36-year-old Anar Bakhshaliev (responsible at the joint-stock company for underwriting – services that guarantee receipt of payments in the event of financial losses) and, according to the classic scheme, told him that scammers were writing off money from his accounts. To stop this and protect savings, the executive director was convinced to install a remote access application on his phone. As soon as the software settings were completed, the insurer’s phone received text messages from banks with codes, but, warned of the danger, Bakhshaliev did not pass on the treasured numbers to anyone. True, this did not help him. The scammers, thanks to an application previously installed by Anar himself, already had access to his phone at that moment. In total, 8.85 million rubles were written off from various accounts of the victim, but the director, convinced of the power of the miracle program, did not notice the loss. On November 7, “bank employees” disturbed him again and asked him to transfer the money remaining in his accounts to them. The insurer only realized it late in the evening on the 9th and contacted the police.
