Central Bank urges citizens to be vigilant against cases of fraud

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Recently, cases have become more frequent when citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan, based on false advertising of foreign organizations posted on websites and offering to make big money in a short time, transfer funds to foreign countries.

In particular, after reading the advertisement about earning money via the Internet, citizens send requests and in a short period of time they are contacted by a conditional person "A" who offers to provide access to the international financial market (FOREX platform), as well as provide analytical materials, provide advice in return for a certain amount of investments in foreign currency.

After the transfer of funds, the employee of the organization - the analyst asks to install the remote access program (Any Desk) through which he participates in the trading platform. A citizen sees an increase in his investments on the platform, however, when trying to withdraw funds, the analyst does not withdraw funds under various pretexts or does not get in touch at all.

After that, when sending requests for withdrawals through the personal account of the brokerage company, the status "pending" is indicated.

Based on the above, the Central Bank calls on fellow citizens to beware of the tricks of fraudsters and to be careful when transferring funds to the accounts of various dubious organizations.
