In the capital of Kyrgyzstan, scammers managed to deceive a woman, forcing her to transfer 1,888,000 soms.
According to information provided by the Internal Affairs Department of the Lenin District, a citizen named H. L. reported to the law enforcement authorities. She stated that on February 1, 2026, she received a call from unknown individuals who introduced themselves as law enforcement officers. They informed her that her bank accounts were allegedly linked to financing terrorism.
Under the pretext of protecting her funds and proving her innocence, the criminals convinced the woman to urgently transfer the money. Following their instructions, she used a terminal in one of the shopping centers to transfer the specified amount.
In connection with the incident, a criminal case was initiated under Article 209 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During operational-search activities, police officers were able to identify and detain a suspect, born in 2006, known as T. B. He was recognized as a dropper and placed in a temporary detention facility.
The investigation of this incident is ongoing.
