The aggrieved widow discovered the write-offs six months after her husband's death.
Moscow resident Anatoly died in the spring of 2024. However, only six months later, his widow discovered that 1,271,700 rubles had been written off from her husband's bank account.
As it turned out, the criminals had restored Anatoly's eSIM card and gained access to his account. The attackers were somehow able to obtain the deceased's passport details, after which they came to the communication store on Baumanskaya and got a duplicate SIM card. With this SIM card, they were able to withdraw all the money from the bank account.
Anatoly's relatives learned of this incident only six months later, when the widow looked at her husband's account and discovered that a large sum was missing. After receiving bank statements, it turned out that unknown persons had gained access to the account just a week after the owner's death.
Experts strongly recommend: in case of any changes related to your mobile number (change, loss, termination of use), it is necessary to immediately unlink it from:
The State Services Portal
Banking applications
Social networks
Email
Other services that use a phone number for authentication
Particular attention should be paid to this issue in the event of the death of close relatives. It is necessary to promptly disconnect their numbers from all digital services to avoid such fraudulent actions.
