Something is rotten in the state of Alfa Bank

 


This post is a tribute and homage to Alex Cher, who was the first to use the hashtag #AlfaBankFraud, chosen by me for this project and all other publications on the topic elsewhere, and who in his post as far back as 2017 (the only one so hashtagged until I took up the torch) gave voice to his suspicions about shady dealings at Alfa Bank.  In compliance with his request to spread the word, I reproduce his post here.  His post was untitled, and I used a quote from it [“В Альфа-Банке завелись крысы!”, literally “Rats have appeared at Alfa Bank”] as a title for mine.

·         ❗️❗️❗️Important❗️❗️❗️I urge all Alfa Bank cardholders to see in their online banking environments what number is used for transaction authentication texts. There are numerous instances where numbers were replaced with fake ones at the bank's offices. 📵 In other words, the bank's employee changes the SMS notification number in 3-D Secure, allegedly as requested by you. You can lose both your credit and your money in the bank. Something is rotten in the state of Alfa Bank This is not a one-off!

Please put the word out. Thank you.

P.S. Because online reports differ, it is possible that customer mobile numbers are changed by black hats through the bank's IT infrastructure. I know that Alfa Bank is buggy. This conclusion is based on the fact that when a telephone number was identified as not belonging to a customer, branch rank-and-file employees were unable to change it back because the number had allegedly been entered via "a special channel". P.P.S. There was a report yesterday that 1 bln roubles was stolen from Sberbank in Tolyatti. And now it's the turn of Alfa Bank. I speak from personal experience. There are witnesses. Alfa Bank gives everyone the same reply: "We see no reason to recredit your account" Even if you warned them that your account might have been compromised.

Alfa Bank (Russia) in bed with con artists?

  #AlfaBankFraud [Originally published in Russian as "Альфа-банк в сговоре с мошенниками?" here ] This is the next instalment in my series of posts about the bank fraud I fell victim to. My last post is here .   As I already reported, on 30 June 2020 I got a call on my mobile, whose number is linked to my Alfa Bank account. The caller addressed me by my first name and patronymic, having introduced himself as a member of Alfa Bank's Financial Monitoring Department, and asked me whether I had made a transfer of 1200-plus roubles to a certain person (whom he named but whose name I don't recall). I naturally said no because I don't make transfers to anybody other than my wife. Then he told me this meant that my account was compromised and invited me to undergo an ID verification procedure using the number of my Alfa bank account contract or the number of my “plastic product”, ending in 5413, in order to install “two-factor protection” for my accounts. Everythin...

RF CB FPS: the choice of fraudsters

  Fast Payment System of the Bank of Russia #AlfaBankFraud Originally published in Russian as “СБП ЦБ РФ—выбор мошенников” here . This is the next instalment in my series of posts about fraud at Alfa Bank. My previous one in this series is here . Initially I wanted to call this post something like “The Bank of Russia's Fast Payment System: fraudsters' dream come true” because before it went online they had to steal money in chunks up to RUR15k through anonymous accounts with online banks, and the FPS has presumably raised this limit to RUR100k, and possibly has removed it altogether. In my case, the swindlers would have had to talk me into making 12 transfers in order to debit my Alfa Bank account to the tune of RUR176k, and this was hardly doable for them for a number of reasons. But on second thoughts I decided that I did not yet have sufficient reason to describe the FPS as fraudsters' dream come true, and I came up with another title, one that is strictly true. Le...

Alfa Bank (Russia): Sink or swim - we don't give a f*ck. Part 1

  Alfa Bank customers left to fend for themselves #AlfaBankFraud [Originally published as “ Альфа-банк: Спасение утопающих - дело рук самих утопающих? ” here .] (This post was originally written as a comment on a post by Maria Komandnaya here [translated by me here  and here ], but it turned out to be too long for a comment, so I publish it here.)   My friends, I invite you to take a look at the progress made by con artists in their line of work, admittedly a tough row to hoe, and at how effectively Alfa Bank deals with them after what happened to Maria, and to consider what you would have done in my shoes. On 30 June 2020, I got a call on my mobile, whose number is linked to my Alfa Bank account. The caller addressed me by my first name and patronymic, having introduced himself (I only recall his first name and patronymic: Sergey Vladimirovich) as a member of Alfa Bank ’s Financial Monitoring Department, and asked me whether I had made a transfer of 1200-plus ...
