A woman sold her apartment and transferred funds to the scammers
In the capital of Kyrgyzstan, suspects involved in large-scale fraud using messengers have been detained.
On December 22, 2025, a citizen G. Ch. reported to the Sverdlovsk District Internal Affairs Department about fraudulent actions by unknown individuals. The scammers, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and banks, contacted her via WhatsApp from various phone numbers.
The fraudsters deceived the woman by applying psychological pressure and forcing her to carry out several financial transactions. As a result, the resident of Bishkek sold her apartment and transferred 22 million 130 thousand soms to the scammers.
Employees of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate, conducting investigative and operational activities, were able to identify and detain the suspects: A. Zh. (born in 2007), B. S. (born in 1998), and N. M. (born in 2002).
The suspects were placed in the temporary detention facility of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate in accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The Main Internal Affairs Directorate reminds citizens: employees of law enforcement agencies, banks, and government institutions never contact people through messengers, do not demand money transfers, and do not give instructions regarding the sale of property.
If you receive similar messages or calls, immediately terminate the conversation and contact the nearest police station or call 102.
Take care of yourself and be cautious not to become a victim of scammers.
