The caller instructed him on how to secure his savings, which led to the withdrawal and deposit of the money into other accounts.

The scammer's next steps

After a few days, the fraudster contacted the victim again, demanding the rest of the money . The man withdrew another 30,000 złoty, explaining to bank employees that he needed the money to buy a tractor. He deposited the funds into an account at another bank. Only after analyzing the transaction did he realize he had fallen victim to fraud.
