Recently, scammers have been easily swindling thousands of Uzbeks out of significant amounts of money through very simple methods.
For instance, the Telegram channel "Alhamdulillah Pull" promises people to multiply their money several times within 4 hours.
Dinora Karimova, who introduces herself as the project leader, guarantees a 100% increase of 500,000 UZS to 3.2 million UZS, 1 million UZS to 8.5 million UZS, and 4 million UZS to 55 million UZS. She deceives people by saying that they just need to wait for 4 hours.
“We work through cryptocurrency. For example, if you invest 500,000 UZS, we will increase your money to 3 million 200 thousand UZS by investing it in the stock market. We have over 8 years of experience. You will win 100%!” said Dinora Karimova to a Kun.uz reporter who spoke with her online as a potential customer.
She mentioned that the money could be transferred to a certain card number.
The card number is registered to Khushbokova U. at Ipoteka Bank. To convince people, the scammer also sent fake passport information, certificates, and licenses made using Photoshop.
For information, the official website of the Central Bank lists licensed credit organizations, which is regularly updated. It is advisable to use this information to check the legitimacy of any organization.
The channel also features videos of several citizens who invested money in the project and allegedly won large amounts.
Recently, Kun.uz conducted an investigation on another Telegram channel called “Uzbekiston investuz” that promises to return 1.5 million UZS as 20 million UZS within 60 minutes. Many people have commented under this investigation, stating that they have fallen victim to this scam.
