The National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic has issued a warning regarding a new fraudulent scheme offering citizens "preferential loans." According to the regulator, criminals are using the Telegram messenger to spread offers of assistance in obtaining loans on attractive terms. To increase trust, they display fake documents with the NBKR logo, including counterfeit licenses allegedly issued by the bank.
After that, the fraudsters demand money to be transferred under various pretexts, such as paying for insurance, fees, or confirming the application.
The National Bank has clearly stated that such actions are fraudulent.
"Do not trust such messages and do not send money to unknown individuals. If in doubt, always verify information only from official sources," said representatives of the regulator.Additionally, the NBKR reminded that it does not directly work with individuals and does not provide loans or open accounts for the public.
If you encounter fraudsters, follow these recommendations:
- immediately block your bank card;
- contact law enforcement;
- get in touch with the National Bank's public reception at (312) 61-04-86.
