Okay, that’s kind of egregious.
I wonder if a counter might be — if that isn’t already what they’re doing — running sting operations pretending to be Russian intelligence. Then, any time someone’s thinking about maybe taking money to set something on fire or whatever, the appeal is tempered by the fact that they might actually be talking to Polish law enforcement.
Dunno if sting operations are something that Poland does, though.

7 arrested in Poland in latest sting against illegal tobacco
i don’t know if you know, but tobacco trafficking, at least before war, was a massive activity with counterfeit cigs showing up as far west as UK, and there were multiple groups involved, evidently some less cautious than others. also this article is five years old
It’s easier to run such operations against random illegal tobacco traffickers rather than FSB agents, which belong to one of the world’s best spying agencies
