57-year-old Lilia fell for the classic scheme: unknown people called her, introduced themselves as "FSB officers" and told the woman that her money was in danger and they needed to be transferred to "safe deposit boxes", and then it started...

For the next 10 days, Lilia went to banks, cashed out money and sent it to scammers. First 5 million, then 33 million rubles in bonds, and then she was persuaded to sell her Toyota Rav 4 and send the money to them. In total, fraudsters received 49.3 million rubles.

Only after selling the car did the woman suddenly realize that she had nothing left. She filed a police report.
