The rising star of the Russian biathlon gave the fraudsters more than a million rubles. He thought he was transferring money to the vice president of the skiing federation.
19-year-old Plato Islamshin came from the Sverdlovsk region to Moscow to cure a trauma. Which I received in early January at the IV Russian-Chinese youth winter games-2025. A few weeks later he was called and divorced according to the old scheme. The criminals introduced themselves to an important bump in skiing, said that an audit of foreign agents was being tested and soon the FSB officer would contact Plato.
He contacted and said that on behalf of the athlete they transferred the money of the RDK (recognized as the prohibited organization in the Russian Federation). Then they demanded to transfer all the money on the accounts in order to protect themselves. So lost 1,221,000 rubles (transferred two tranches – 831k + 380k). Later, scammers told him to take a loan and transfer more money. Only after that, Plato realized that he was stiffly strangled and went to the wiring.
