Police detain fraudster who stole money from bank cards of more than 300 people

According to the Cyber Security Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a resident of the Bulungur district of Samarkand appealed to the police reporting that 8,918,900 soums were withdrawn from his bank card for an unknown reason. He asked law enforcement officers to study the matter.

After that, an inspection was conducted. During the investigation, it was found that the Bulungur resident was deceived in Telegram when he entered his bank card details into a link, sent supposedly by Davrbank, which said the bank is giving credits in favorable terms. Right after he filled in the form, the money was withdrawn from his card.

Police found that the crime was committed by a 23-year-old resident of Fergana.

During inspections, it was revealed that the young man stole money from the bank cards of more than 300 citizens and used them for his own needs.

Law enforcement bodies initiated a criminal case against the perpetrator under Article 169 of the Criminal Code and currently conducting further investigations.
