In the last month or so my bank is getting some random calls where the callers speaks in russian. I manage to record one and translate it.

-The caller was asking if he had money in our accounts.

-The caller was a real person (I found on Linkedin) from Azerbaijan. He had called every day our Call Center

-The caller also had sent an email with a (fake) statement which he claims he had gotten from a third company claiming that he had money in our bank

-The statement had the real signatures of our CEO and CFO (probably copied from some public document). But the other parts of the document were fake/random

Checking the email logs I saw probably 60 other emails like this one with the same subject, same fake statement but different name and sent from different email accounts

I’m really confused what’s their game. Are they trying to scam us to send money to them? Or were they scammed themselves and actually believe they have money in our accounts?
