He drove the woman to Minsk and noticed her worried appearance and talking on the phone all the way. She confessed that she was going to «declare» her savings. Upon reaching his destination, the taxi driver saw an apartment building, not a tax office, and was finally convinced of his assumption. Thanks to his care, the money was saved.

The police found out that the 61-year-old pensioner received a call from false employees of the gas service and was asked to give her an SMS code to «check the equipment.» Then the law enforcement officers allegedly told her that the attackers were conducting illegal financial transactions on her behalf. In order to avoid criminal liability, Bobruychanka was ordered to arrive in Minsk immediately and bring all available cash.

The Interior Ministry recalled that law enforcement officers, employees of banking and other institutions do not call citizens in messengers. If unknown people on the phone demand to make any financial manipulations (declare, deposit into a secure account, give to a courier, etc.) — immediately stop the conversation and inform the police about it.
