Namangan Resident Scammed out of 92 Million UZS by Online Trader
A woman in Namangan fell victim to a fraudster and lost nearly 100 million UZS. The suspect, who claimed to be involved in trading, communicated with the victim through social networks, promising to quickly increase her money through the stock exchange. He managed to receive 92 million UZS from her.
However, justice has prevailed as the fraudulent trader who embezzled 92 million UZS from the resident in Namangan has been apprehended, as reported by the Cybersecurity Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The victim, identified as Sh.G., filed a complaint indicating that an unknown individual had stolen 92 million UZS from her bank card. Following swift investigative measures, it was determined that the perpetrator behind this crime was R.N., a resident of the Namangan region with a prior record of fraud.
R.N., who posed as a trader and communicated with the victim through Telegram, falsely promised to grow her funds through stock trading. Instead, he duped her into giving him 92 million UZS, which he then misappropriated for personal use.
R.N. now faces charges under Part 3 of Article 168 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code.
This incident serves as a reminder to exercise caution when dealing with individuals online, as fraudulent schemes continue to target unsuspecting victims. Earlier, another individual was arrested for swindling 27 million UZS by sending a fake link through Telegram. It is important to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to prevent falling prey to such scams.
