A scammer, posing as a banker, called Dmitry Brezhnev on his cell phone, warning him of an ongoing hacker attack on his bank account, and urged him to temporarily move the money from his account to another "safe" account. The man moved the equivalent of 2.5 thousand euros, losing the money. Later realizing the scam, he reported the fact to the police. Dmitry is the son of Andrei, grandson of Leonid Brezhnev, secretary of the CC of the CPSU and Soviet leader. Dmitry Brezhnev is a graduate of Oxford and is involved in software sales.
