What do you take me for? ( = I am not that type of person; You should not believe I could do a thing like that) — За кого ты меня принимаешь? Как ты мог обо мне такое подумать?!

If you take take someone for something, you accept or believe that they are that thing

Example 1: I won’t tell anybody – what do you take me for?

Example 2: I'm not going to forge his signature for you! What do you take me for? (CALD)
