As a result, Alexey issued a loan for 1 million 357 thousand rubles, after which he sent the amount to the fraudster. After that, the “security officer” convinced Alexei that to identify scammers, it was necessary to set fire to the Sberbian office, and sent him instructions for the manufacture of Molotov cocktail.
Having made sure that there are no people in the department, Alexei opened the door and threw the bottle into the corner. As a result of the incident, the bank’s employees extinguished the fire, and the police took Alexei.
