The regulator strongly recommends avoiding money transfers to strangers
According to information from the National Bank, fraudsters, posing as its employees, are sending messages through messengers. They inform citizens about a supposedly received money transfer in their name but demand payment of a commission to receive the funds.
The message emphasizes: “Do not trust such calls and messages, and under no circumstances send money to unknown individuals. If you have any doubts, verify the information through official channels.”
The National Bank clarifies that it does not call citizens, does not send identification of its employees, does not request money transfers, and does not conduct transactions with individuals, including opening accounts and issuing loans.
“If you realize that you have become a victim of fraudsters, immediately block your bank card and contact law enforcement authorities,” the regulator added.
