During the dialogue, the phrase sounded: “Go to a secluded place so that no one would hear you.” Dmitry suspected that it could be scammers. He told his mother about this.

Together, they tried to talk to a pensioner, but she refused. In parallel, the woman found out through which ATM I needed to send money. Dmitry and his mother approached her grandmother and began to explain what she was talking with a swindler. The woman hung up. The teenager called the police.

As it turned out, from the very beginning of the conversation, the fraudster forbade her to communicate with someone and seek help. So, an indifferent teenager and his mother helped her grandmother save more than 170 thousand rubles.
