Live bait

I heard about stories when they grabbed the guys who put pirated software, but it was so far away from me. And now here is very close.
My friend works as an administrator. Today he had the following conversation over the phone.

- Good afternoon, Roman. I was advised to you, as a specialist in installing Windows.
- Hello, that's right. How did you find out about me?
- Ivanova advised you.
- Yeah, I know that.
- We need to install Windows 7 on several computers. Well, there is still an office and other programs. 2000 rubles. Take it?
/// for our city and given the age of my friend, this is reasonable money. \\\\\\
- Yes, I find it interesting. If computers pull on the gland, then no problem.
- Well, what computers I can not say. We have some disks, but maybe you will take yours with you just in case?
- Well, I'll take, of course.
- Do you have license disks?
- Not.
- I see. Well then tomorrow at 6 o'clock. Conveniently? Street is such and such, house such and such, apartment such and such. 4 computers.
...
In general, in this spirit. The dialogue is not literal, of course.
This is not the first to hear him. Already strangers had to help on the advice of friends. But he immediately called his friend Ivanova. She said she really advised him to some Olga.
And my friend, without any ulterior motive, told his colleagues about it. It saved him. The guys showed him a message in contact, which was like two peas in a pod like a dialogue. This is our police arranges such bases. Somehow it is vile or something: instead of doing business, they catch boys. Obviously the plan is carried out.
I do not excuse my friend and I understand that fewer people are now engaged in this, but they do not want anyone to get caught like that. Especially if it does an acquaintance for a minimal reward. The unpleasant thing in this story is that the familiar person whom you trust has let down.
