On November 14, a citizen named K.T. approached the investigative authorities of the Sverdlovsk District Department of Internal Affairs, filing a complaint against unknown scammers who deceived her.
The criminals called from unfamiliar numbers, posing as employees of the State National Security Committee (GKNB) and the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic (NB KR), took advantage of the woman's trust, and stole 973,900 soms.
A criminal case has already been initiated under Article 209, Part 4 of the Criminal Code of Kyrgyzstan in connection with this incident.
During operational activities, police officers managed to identify and detain two suspects: 21-year-old I.D. and 20-year-old S.A. Both were placed in a temporary detention facility.

The detainees acquired bank cards through a Telegram channel, which allowed them to implement the fraudulent scheme and cash out the funds obtained through criminal means.
Operational activities to search for other participants in this internet fraud scheme are ongoing.
The investigation is at an active working stage.
The capital's police strongly recommend that city residents exercise caution and not share their personal data, bank cards, PIN codes, or other confidential information with strangers. Security services never request such financial data over the phone.
In case of receiving suspicious calls or messages, as well as attempts to involve you in dubious transactions, you should immediately contact the service "102" or the nearest police station.
