The victim sold her apartment and transferred the money to the criminals.
An operation was conducted in Bishkek to detain suspects involved in large-scale fraud using messengers.
On December 22, 2025, a woman named G.Ch. approached the Sverdlovsk District Police Department for help against unknown individuals who used various phone numbers to contact her via WhatsApp, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and banks of Kyrgyzstan.
The scammers deceived the citizen into believing in their fictitious authority, applied psychological pressure on her, and forced her to take a series of financial actions. As a result, she sold her apartment and transferred money to them, suffering losses amounting to 22 million 130 thousand soms.
During investigative and operational activities, officers of the Main Department of Internal Affairs were able to identify and detain the suspects: A. J. (born in 2007), B.S. (born in 1998), and N. M. (born in 2002).
These individuals were placed in a temporary detention facility in accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The Main Department of Internal Affairs reminds that law enforcement officers and financial institutions do not use messengers to communicate with citizens, do not require money transfers, and do not give instructions regarding the sale of property.
If you receive similar calls or messages, immediately terminate the conversation and contact the nearest police station or call 102.
Be vigilant and do not let scammers mislead you.
