During the interrogation, the man reported that since mid-July, telephone scammers had been "processing" him via WhatsApp, and during this time they had persuaded him to take out several loans under various pretexts. Then a bank security service employee allegedly approached Perov, introducing himself as "German Aleksandrovich" and offering, according to preliminary information, to connect him with someone who could help in his trouble.
