Caution! Scammers are presented by employees of the EMERCOM!
The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan reminds residents of the Republic, especially elderly people: do not trust scammers who, posing as employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, offer to install fire detectors or purchase fire extinguishers at inflated prices. Recall that the price of a fire detector does not exceed 500 rubles, and the cost of a fire extinguisher is about 1000 rubles.
One of the similar cases has already, unfortunately, happened the other day with a Russian pensioner in the Far East. Two pseudo-firefighters showed up to her. Uninvited guests reminded of the danger of fire and sold an elderly woman a fire extinguisher, intimidating her with fines. The purchase cost 10 thousand rubles. In parallel, the false firefighters walked around the apartment and found the pensioner's savings under the pillow – 18 thousand rubles.
In case of detection of suspicious persons posing as employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations offering to purchase fire and gas sensors, you do not need to buy anything from them, but you need to call the helpline of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for RT (843)288-46-96, where you can clarify whether at this time in this place the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations are checking or preventive measure. After that, immediately call the police on the number "102" to take measures to curb illegal activities.
