To "secure his money", former Russian Ambassador to Malta Vladimir Malygin transferred to "secure accounts" all the money lying in the accounts (including his wife's account), and then gave an unknown man and all the cash stored at home.
For the first time, the "manager of the current banking supervision service" called 73-year-old Vladimir on March 13. He informed Malygin that a certain investigation was underway, then asked the diplomat to tell him about all his existing accounts and convinced him to install a "special" application on his phone. The next day, the fraudster called Malygin again and sent him to the bank to withdraw all the money from his account and send it through an ATM to a "secure account". So Malygin lost the first two million rubles. The next day, Malygin went to another bank and repeated the procedure.
After that, unknown people asked Malygin to insert his SIM card into his wife's phone. Vladimir did not argue, and as a result, another 4 million rubles were written off from his wife's account.
The scammers didn't stop there: they told the diplomat that all available foreign currency cash should be put in a bag and handed over to "their employee", who will wait for Malygin on Gorbushka. So Vladimir lost another 165,000 dollars and 25,000 euros.
The last debits from the diplomat's accounts occurred on March 19: he saw that 4 million rubles were lost from the Raiffeisenbank account. After that, Malygin went to the police.
