According to the agency, the criminals use modern technologies to spoof numbers and exert psychological pressure on their victims. They report suspicious transactions with bank accounts, promise refunds, or demand money for protection against cyberattacks.
Recently, fraudsters have increasingly used the names of employees and even high-ranking officials of the GKNB of the Kyrgyz Republic.
As a result of operational measures, the staff of the state committee were able to identify and stop the activities of several criminal groups. The criminals made calls both from Kyrgyzstan and abroad. Criminal cases have been initiated based on these facts.
The GKNB urges citizens to be vigilant and reminds them of important safety rules:
If you encounter fraudsters, immediately contact the national security authorities.
