The law enforcement agencies in the Chui region are drawing the public's attention to cases of fraud occurring in WhatsApp groups called "JDC in Kyrgyzstan." These groups exhibit all the signs of a financial pyramid.
According to the press service of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Chui region, the criminals add users to messenger groups and offer to invest funds with promises of high but dubious profits, without any legal basis. To facilitate payments, the fraudsters send QR codes from various banks.
It is noted that victims are offered so-called "participation levels":
- Level 1 — 6,800 soms;
- Level 2 — 33,000 soms;
- Level 3 — 45,000 soms.
Law enforcement agencies strongly recommend that citizens exercise caution:
- do not transfer money to strangers via QR codes or links from messengers;
- check the legality and registration of online platforms;
- immediately report any instances of fraud to law enforcement, preserving correspondence and payment documents.
