Cyber Fraud Victim Journalist Recovers Stolen Money

The 600 manats stolen from Honored Journalist Laman Alashrafgizi, who fell victim to cyber fraud, have been returned to her.

According to Qaynarinfo, Alashrafgizi shared the news on her social media account.

"Isfandiyar Abbasov from the Main Department for Combating Cybercrime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs called me and informed me that the cyber fraudster had been detained. The money has been returned to my bank card. Naturally, I do not yet know the identity of the criminal, but I believe I will have the opportunity to confront him," the TV host wrote.

It should be noted that Alashrafgizi transferred the money after being deceived by fraudulent messages sent in the name of Iqbal Agazadeh, chairman of the Umid Party, whose Telegram account had been compromised by cybercriminals.
