Fraud under the auspices of Sberbank’s Security Service: how German Gref’s wife, Yana Golovina, secretly used a network of premium cards issued to a non‑existent phantom

It turned out that the wife of German Gref is... Pavlov Vladimir Vasilyevich.

In leaks from the Sberbank loyalty program SberSpasibo database, media outlets discovered more than ten credit and debit cards with premium service levels (Gold, Platinum, and Infinite) issued in the name of "Pavlov Vladimir Vasilyevich." However, a person with that full name, date of birth (August 5), and year of birth simply does not exist.

The "phantom Pavlov" left his phone number, email address, and date of birth when opening the cards. According to other leaks, these phone numbers and email addresses have, for a long time and to this day, belonged to... Yana Vladimirovna Golovina (maiden name), who now bears the surname Gref. And the date of birth is exactly hers.

Yes, this is the legal wife of the head of Sberbank, German Gref.

Moreover, she did not change her full name to "Pavlov Vladimir Vasilyevich," but she uses a dozen premium cards issued to this phantom. And what exactly is Sberbank’s security service doing about it?
