Who owns 8. Who owns large private businesses in Russia (8 photos). How to determine a phone number: whose, to whom it belongs

We often get bored with phone calls - this is done not only by spammers and sales managers, but also by people who want to annoy someone. If the same number begins to appear too often in the list of incoming calls, then we want to identify its owner. How to find out who owns a phone number? It should be noted that there are many tools for this, but not all of them are accessible and informative.

Search engines can give us many interesting information on the issue of room ownership. To do this, just enter the desired number in search bar. In the search results, if this number “lit up” on resources open for indexing, we will see data that can help in identifying a person or organization.

It must be said that with organizations everything is simple - in an effort to develop a client base, they publish their numbers on many public resources. If you are tired of offers of various goods and services, you can always find a “spammer” and report him to the police.

When it comes to searching for people, finding out who owns a phone number will be problematic.

If a person has never indicated his number anywhere, then searches will lead to a lack of results. Conversely, if a person frequently publishes his phone numbers in various public sources, we will be able to understand who he is and where he approximately lives. Please note that finding accurate information about a person, including his full name, date of birth and place of residence, is extremely problematic, unless he himself discloses all personal information

on sites open for indexing.

Search for landline phone numbers

• How to find out who owns a landline number? There are many tools for this:
• Search engines;
• Online directories;

Paper reference books.

There are also online directories that charge you money to find information. It’s up to you to trust or not to trust such reference books, since they do show some of the data. Please remember that when sending SMS to short numbers(and this is how the services of such directories are paid for) you can “pick up” on your number mobile subscription, which will “eat up” all your money.

As for purchasing databases, their relevance is questioned. Outdated databases are often distributed on the Internet, so searching through them may be unsuccessful. There are also many scammers online who can take money from you but give nothing in return. Some databases even contain directories of enterprises or directories by geographic location telephone numbers.

If you decide to purchase this or that database, be sure to ask the seller for details on its contents. You will also find reviews from other users useful - don’t buy a pig in a poke.

You can also find out who owns a city phone number through city directories printed on paper. But here one difficulty awaits you - the information in such directories is structured by the last name of the subscribers (from A to Z), so to find the owner of the desired number you will have to carefully “comb through” the entire directory.

First, try to imagine how big the directory of numbers in St. Petersburg or Krasnodar is. Some believe that such a certificate can be obtained through city telephone information services. But we will disappoint you - they do not provide such information. They can give a number by last name and address, but they do not give information about the ownership of telephone numbers - you don’t have to try.

Certain difficulty in finding the owner of the number through telephone directories may be caused by the fact that some subscribers do not sign consent to the publication of their data in directories.

Search mobile numbers

How to find out who owns the number mobile phone? This is more difficult to do compared to searching for owners of city numbers. There are no online databases for this, and those that exist only show the geographical location of the numbers (and then very approximately).

If you try to search for the owner through search engines, you need to count on the fact that he somewhere once “exposed” his data. But even in this case, we will not receive complete information (maximum city and first/last name). As for the purchasing bases of mobile operators, the following troubles await us here:

• The seller may be a scammer;
• The database may not be up to date.

The likelihood that you will not be able to find the necessary data is very high, since many people have the habit of regularly changing their numbers. For example, you didn’t like the tariff - and now the person changed the operator and telephone number. Therefore, there is always a risk of not finding the necessary data. It turns out that finding out who owns a phone number, and for free, is problematic.

Such information will not be given at the customer service office, and calling the contact center is useless. All that remains is to use dubious databases, “punch” information through search engines, or contact the police if you are bothered by calls or threats.

You can try to look for acquaintances and friends at service offices, but disclosing such information is illegal - remember this when inciting your acquaintances to commit crimes. In addition, a competent consultant will not give such information even out of friendship, since this can result in administrative or criminal liability.

Sberbank will help us determine the owner of the number. Or rather, his banking, displaying brief information by payment recipients. Use the instructions:

• Log in to Sberbank Online using your login and password;
• Go to the “Transfers and Payments” section;
• Start processing a transfer to a Sberbank client by phone number;
• Enter the number and amount (for example, one ruble), click “Transfer”;
• Find the recipient's first and middle name on the next page (the last name is not displayed in full - only the first letter).

The likelihood that the recipient uses Sberbank’s services is quite high - the number of users is over 70 million people.

We identify the caller using programs

They will help you find out who the number belongs to special applications, which can be found in the app store Play Store. Meet detailed information about these applications.

"Yandex"

The Yandex application includes a browser, a weather informer, voice assistant"Alice" and caller ID. The determination is carried out using an online database that includes over 5 million records. Download the application, enable caller ID and give it the appropriate permissions, get information about callers. Please note that Yandex does not detect numbers individuals, but it perfectly recognizes calls from collectors, spammers, banks and other organizations.

"Kaspersky Who Calls"

The “Kaspersky Who Calls” application was created by Kaspersky Lab and has great functionality:

• Instantly determines the identity of unknown numbers;
• Warns about unwanted calls;
• Informs about missed calls;
• Allows you to add unwanted numbers to the spam database.

The application is free, it works both online and offline (the database is stored in the application itself).

LIST OF 50 (Foreign) COMPANIES MANAGED THROUGH OFFSHORE companies

Good day everyone and have a nice weekend. I am posting the material presented below as the beginning of a series of publications about who owns and how large private businesses are organized in Russia, as well as how this affects the development of certain industries, in particular the food industry. Together with you we will try to figure out whether there is this moment within the food sector Is there real competition between enterprises or is it just an illusion beautifully drawn by business owners. We will also try to touch upon the topic of how big business in Russia in the form in which it is now presented, affects the national security of the country, as well as the majority of social strata of our society.

The writing of this article was prompted by the statement of the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Evgeny Fedorov in an interview with the Pravda.Ru TV channel that all private business in Russia, except small and medium-sized ones, registered in a foreign jurisdiction. You can’t name a single major businessman in Russia who would be a Russian businessman de jure. I won’t post his controversial interview on my blog, it’s not difficult to find on the Internet, I repeat that many of Mr. Fedorov’s statements are controversial, but the idea itself is interesting to consider it.

We have already discussed this topic inarticleWe also found out that a number of companies, despite being registered abroad, in most cases have Russian owners. It seems that almost all the names of the stores are Russian, but many of the owners are foreigners

Are these “Russian” goods? We buy everything ours, not foreign? I wonder how to support domestic manufacturer? Does he even produce anything else? Have small and medium-sized businesses not yet been destroyed in Russia?

Is Russian land being sold to foreigners?

Each of us knows that life in the Russian village is very difficult now. But have you ever wondered why people simply survive there? And why are there no collective and state farms, while most farmers make ends meet? Maybe this is being done on purpose and the lands need to be cleared of people?

Billionaires or just directors of foreign enterprises?

The official status of any of them is “a property manager of a foreign company in Russian Federation", although he may have a Russian passport."

Almost everyone knows that offshore companies are a fairly popular way of managing a business around the world, including in Russia. But few people knew before this statement that in Russia, in principle, there is no national large private business. For many, this is truly sensational news. Evgeny Fedorov, as the former chairman of the Committee on Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship and a current deputy of the State Duma, of course, knows better, BUT the question immediately arises, how to check this information?As they say, trust, but verify.

A lot has been written, but if you’re interested, don’t be lazy to delve a little deeper

Daily analytical newspaper RBCdailybrings to our attention a whole map of business, where the entire structure of large private business in Russia is visible.The map is called “Who Owns Russia.”

A careful study of the business map reveals a huge number of intermediary firms registered in offshore zones, which in turn own the largest private companies in Russia. Thus, the words of Evgeny Fedorov are partially confirmed. It should be noted that this map business is not quite complete. NOT all intermediary companies are listed on the map. For example, the map indicates that Severstal OJSC is directly owned by Alexey Mordashov. However, in fact, Alexey Mordashov controls Severstal through a Cyprus offshore companyFrontdeal Ltd. Or, for example, it is indicated that Iskander Makhmudov and Andrey Kozitsyn directly own the company OJSC Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC). But in reality, the company is managed through a Cyprus offshore company SELMARECO LIMITED (SELMARECO LIMITED). In general, this business map does not show the complete picture, but it clarifies a lot.

An analysis of the most strategically and economically important companies in the country was carried out. The jurisdiction of about 150 companies was studied, of which only 33% provide information about the owners, the remaining companies hide or provide incomplete information about the owners. During the analysis, it was revealed that almost all the companies about which it was possible to obtain information are managed through offshore companies. There were 50 such companies identified, the list of which will be presented below. Also, only 3 companies were found that are located in Russian jurisdiction. These are the KOKS Group of Companies, OJSC Welding and Installation Trust and OJSC Sibmost. Thus, Evgeny Fedorov’s statement that there is no national large private business in Russia is again partially confirmed. At least, we see that in Russia this state of affairs exists, if not 100%, then 90%. These enterprises generate enormous income, which does not stay in Russia for a long time, but flows immediately into the accounts of foreign banks. I wonder if the situation is the same with those 67% of companies that hide information about their owners and which for this reason were not included in this rating? The question remains open.

48) “Aston” (Agriculture, food production)

50) “European Bearing Corporation” (Mechanical Engineering)

Thus, the fragmented nature of measures aimed at deoffshorization of the Russian economy (for example, the law “On Controlled Foreign Companies”) did not contribute to positive changes in this area. And this is no coincidence. After all, attempts to connect a snake with a hedgehog - i.e. state influence on the economy with the dominance of private ownership of the means of production certainly led and is leading to the failure of the oligarchy of any attempts to influence the situation. Is it beneficial for the latter to consistently implement government programs and completely submit to government control? Therefore, there should be a question about the nationalization of the “commanding heights”. But this doesn't happen. Moreover, the Putin-Medvedev government is raising the question of continuing the privatization of state property.

There are not very many ways that allow you to completely free and legally find out who owns the mobile phone number and find out basic information about the subscriber you are interested in - first name, last name, location.

Such information is confidential and cannot be disclosed to strangers unless the owner wishes it. But many people themselves often indicate personal information on social networks, for this reason, even using only the Internet, many can recognize it.

It should be noted that in the tenth iPhone this issue has already been resolved by a built-in utility that automatically recognizes all incoming numbers.

However, not all of humanity has yet switched to Apple products, the problem continues to exist for owners of other devices. Our review is just for you.

How to find out who is calling

Technologies are making their way into all areas of our lives, so it is absolutely logical to define unknown number now you can use convenient applications. Below is an overview useful services, which will not take up much space in your smartphone, but will greatly facilitate the search for callers.

Kaspersky Who Calls

A free application that is suitable for owners of both iOS and Android. It easily identifies numbers you are unfamiliar with, so now you will not be afraid of calls from unsubscribed subscribers.

pros

• Detailed information about callers;
• Allows you to send annoying people to spam;
• No Internet connection is required to operate;

- minuses

• The spam database does not always work, so some calls may occur repeatedly;
• It does not start working immediately after installation, but after 10-15 minutes.

The developers assure that the service in no way interferes with personal life users and incoming lists are not remembered by the system; numbers from your confirmation go to the spam database.

Who is calling

Another application that allows you to identify incoming calls.

Divides subscribers into categories: scammers, debt collectors, advertising agencies, bank call centers, delivery services, online stores. If necessary, you can block an entire category and its representatives will not be able to call you.

pros

• Ability to block entire branches;
• Screen display detailed information about incoming;
• Ability to create your own blacklist;
• Allows each user to become involved in replenishing the database of unwanted contacts.

- minuses

• Paid in App Store(RUR 379).

Truecaller

In addition to the standard functions required for this type of application, this service can also block SMS from intrusive numbers (advertising mailings, spam, etc.). Another nice feature is call recording.

You can also find the contact you are interested in in the extensive catalog of the system, where you can also find out how you are listed in the directory of your friends.

pros

• Many additional options;
• Working with two SIM cards;
• Huge catalog of contacts.

- minuses

• Access to your phone book, respectively processing the data of each of the contacts recorded in it. Where this information goes next is still an unanswered question.
• Big questions about privacy.

How to find out the owner's phone number

If you know the phone number, then using the Internet you can find out mobile operator(MTS, Yota, Tele2 and so on) and geographical location. This is key information determined by non-geographical telephone codes, access to the databases of which can be obtained free of charge.

With how to find a person only by mobile phone number, without knowing the owner’s last name and first name, the situation is much more difficult.

Who is the mobile phone number registered to?

Use the Google search engine and social media capabilities to check whether the caller's mobile phone is in open access. This will help you find out who the phone number may belong to, as well as more detailed information about the subscriber.

At the same time, using such search engines is much safer, since there is no need to download anything and pay for it. You just need to enter the phone number and wait for the result.

And although in theory this is the most the best option, however, as practice shows, it is much more effective to conduct an independent search using the Google search engine.

In order to search for a phone number without losing numbers, you should put quotation marks, for example, “+79011215682”. You can also try different spelling formats: local, international, using hyphens, highlighting the operator code with brackets.

This is possible in the following situations:

• You received a call from a company. Typically, contact information can be found on their official website, in advertisements offering applicants a vacant position, and so on;
• The person who called you has own page VKontakte or other social network. The profile usually states Contact Information or he left them in his comments or during the discussion of any topic;
• The caller uses I Google does not explore the databases of such a social network, however, this messenger has a special search tool built into it - use it to quick search required information;
• You have received a call from attackers who are already blacklisted on forums, websites and online services. Information about scammers can be provided on such resources by ordinary users or law enforcement officials.

There are workarounds to find out a last name by phone number. Some articles on the Internet describe in detail instructions that you can use to try to mislead an employee at a company office. mobile communications(Beeline, Megafon) to find out the last name, first name and patronymic of the required subscriber.

This is also fraud, so if you receive threats or blackmail, which is why you want to find out the full name of the caller, it is better to seek help from law enforcement officials. You do not have the right to find out confidential data, especially if the person does not want to disclose it to anyone.

How to determine the owner by phone number free online

In addition to popular search engines Google systems, Yandex and Rambler, there are other methods that allow you to identify a subscriber by his phone number. It is possible to find out its affiliation with the help of special resources and online services, which during the search process refer to their existing databases.

I recommend using only those sites that are willing to provide the information you require free of charge. If you have to pay for it, then there is a huge risk that by giving away your savings you will not receive anything.

In addition, the software database may contain a virus that will penetrate the system of your personal computer.

Phone number databases

You can find out who owns a number using various phone number databases. Because certain services, which provide the subscriber’s last name, first name and other personal data, violate the law on the disclosure of personal data, so finding such a resource quickly will be problematic. Roskomnadzor is looking for such sites and closing them.

And even if you find a working resource with this service, then there is a high probability that they will either have an outdated database, or it may simply be incomplete. Then you need to use the possible download service full base data for a fee, or, conversely, you will be offered the option of removing your phone number from such a resource for money.
