"An almost perfect plan"! Albanian television journalist, victim of
Armand Bajrami

The journalist of A2CNN, Armand Bajrami, published on Thursday on his Facebook page a call regarding the fake email address that has been circulating for several weeks with his name and personal data.

This address, which contains the full name and surname of the Albanian journalist, sends information requests to legal institutions on his behalf.

"A few weeks ago, an unauthorized person opened a fake email address with my first and last name from a domain in which I do not have an account, [email protected].

He is using this to send requests for information to various law enforcement agencies.

In the emails where he claims to be Armand Bajrami, a journalist at A2CNN, he attached a photocopy of my ID, which I don't know how he obtained, my phone number as well as the official address of #A2CNN television where I work.

A nearly perfect plan with unclear goals.

After learning about these episodes, with concern I hastened to file a criminal report with the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana and Elbasan, territories where the emails arrived.

I left the copy of my identity card only in public or private institutions, where (in principle and according to the law) my personal data must be protected.

The concern is serious, since this person, through a forged address, can communicate with other persons or institutions, under my name, or that of A2CNN television, placing me in unsafe, possibly even criminal, situations.

While I trust that the authorities to whom I have addressed the concern will do their job, I ask anyone who follows me here not to consider messages that may come from the address [email protected], even though it is associated with my credit card identity", writes Bajrami on Facebook.
