A new fraud scheme has appeared in Uzbekistan through Telegram

In Uzbekistan, online security issues are taking on new forms. The Cybersecurity Center has recently warned citizens about a dangerous phenomenon that is spreading widely. According to information, some individuals, using bots in Telegram that offer “low-interest loans,” are trying to deceive people, the cybersecurity agency reported.

Such bots initially present attractive offers. People, believing in cheap loans, begin to provide their personal data. They are asked for passport numbers, bank card details, and even information related to loan agreements. In this way, fraudsters gain access to the most important and confidential information of people.

Fake “approved loan” and hidden payments

The fraud scheme does not end there. Victims receive a fake message saying “your loan has been approved.” But the continuation is even more dangerous: they are required to transfer money to a special account under the name of “commission.” In reality, this is not a legal payment at all, but a way for fraudsters to exploit people’s trust and extract money.

Specialists emphasize that such documents have no legal force. They are absolutely not connected with official banks or licensed financial institutions. Therefore, the population is advised to be vigilant and not to trust any offers of “easy credit.”

Recommendations and warnings from experts

Experts advise citizens to always deal only with official financial organizations. If any loan or financial service is offered in a too “easy” and “cheap” form, then this is considered the main sign of danger. Also, personal data should never be provided on unconventional platforms.

The Cybersecurity Center called on the population to be cautious. Because the main victims of such schemes are ordinary people, and fraudsters use their hopes and trust for their own benefit.
