In Moscow, fraudsters deceived Joseph Stalin’s nephew, 93-year-old veteran of the Great Patriotic War, 93-year-old Leonid Alliluyev, for 16 million rubles.
On Wednesday, February 9, according to “Moskovsky Komsomolets”.
According to the publication, in the fall of 2021, the attackers called the pensioner under the guise of bank employees and said that some scammers were trying to steal money from his account. They explained that the account needed to be updated, and told how to transfer money to reserve accounts. Following their instructions, the man transferred about 16 million rubles to the scammers in a month. After that, the false employees of the bank disappeared.
The war veteran turned to law enforcement agencies only on Tuesday, February 8. He explained that the scammers, communicating with him, constantly intimidated him with the risk of being left without funds.
