Fraudster disguised as a "trustworthy person" was caught

A fraudster who defrauded a citizen who dreamed of working abroad and embezzled a large amount of money was detained in the city of Jizzakh.

During a special operative operation conducted in cooperation with the city department of the Department for Combating Economic Crimes under the Prosecutor General's Office and the State Security Service, a previously convicted citizen N.B. was detained.

It turned out that he introduced himself as a "trusted person" and promised citizen Sh.K. "I will send him to work in the United States through Mexico." The citizen, who wanted to get a high-paying job abroad, trusted him and handed over 11,200 US dollars and about 50 million soums.

However, during an operative operation organized to expose the suspicious situation, N.B. was caught with physical evidence while receiving this very money.

At the moment, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 168 of the Criminal Code (fraud) and an investigation has been launched.

Law enforcement agencies urge citizens to be vigilant in such situations and not to give large sums of money to untrustworthy individuals without any official guarantees.
