In the Chui region, law enforcement agencies report new cases of fraud related to WhatsApp groups called "JDC in Kyrgyzstan." These groups exhibit signs of a financial pyramid and pose a potential threat to citizens.
According to information from the press service of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Chui region, the fraudsters add people to messenger groups and offer them to invest money with promises of high and guaranteed returns, although such offers have no legal basis. To facilitate payments, the scammers send participants QR codes from various banks.
The scammers offer several levels of participation with different investment amounts:
- First level — 6,800 soms;
- Second level — 33,000 soms;
- Third level — 45,000 soms.
After the funds are transferred, victims are redirected to the "JDC168kg" website, where they need to create an account and an electronic wallet. Participants are promised payouts every 10 days or once every two weeks; however, to receive "income," they are asked to complete tasks. According to the police, such actions are aimed at the illegal appropriation of money.
Law enforcement agencies strongly recommend that citizens exercise caution:
- do not send money to strangers via QR codes or links from messengers;
- check the legality and official registration of online platforms;
- if fraud is detected, immediately report it to law enforcement, keeping correspondence and payment documents.
The Main Directorate of Internal Affairs reminds that scammers are constantly developing new fraud schemes and urges citizens to be vigilant and cautious.
