Russian actress Anastasia Svetlova has fallen victim to fraud, with criminals securing loans totaling 4.5 million rubles in her name. The incident occurred in Moscow, as reported by the Telegram channel Shot.
Discovery of the Fraud
Anastasia Svetlova, 51, learned about her fraudulent debts by chance. When she attempted to apply for a credit card, she was denied due to overdue payments on loans she never took out. Investigating the documents revealed that the loans had been acquired by scammers.
Details of the Loans
In April of this year, a credit card for 1 million rubles and a loan for 2.5 million rubles were issued in Svetlova’s name. Since no payments were made, penalties accumulated, resulting in a significant financial burden.
The Investigation
Svetlova suspects that the fraudsters may have used her SIM card, which she had replaced just a month before discovering the debts. Authorities are currently searching for the perpetrators.
