New scammers on social media: Emerging traders, driving license in 2 days, and financial pyramid under the Masdar mask

There is no information about such a project on the official website of the United Arab Emirates-based Masdar company. In fact, it is not difficult to verify this. However, people who are eager to make quick profits and prone to being deceived often fall for such schemes.

The traps of traders

People who believe in the lies of traders promising to turn 1 million UZS into 19 million UZS in just two hours can be called “easy targets.” These are always the victims of “unscrupulous hunters,” because those with even a little economic knowledge and awareness of current events would not believe such nonsense.

Traders promising to multiply people's money in just a few hours have become active on social media. Many people are falling into their traps.

For instance, in one such Telegram channel (which has nearly 31,000 subscribers), they promise to turn 1 million UZS into 19 million UZS in two hours.

The admin of the channel, who calls it “Komiljon Trading,” asks people to send the investment to a card under the name of Shokhsanam Dodojobirova. The swindled money is most likely transferred to crypto-assets or other forms of international transfers, disappearing with no trace.

There are dozens of similar channels and groups on Telegram, and they continue to deceive people. Some individuals, after sending their money, even claim that they earned quick returns and that this is legitimate.

In reality, there is no such economic efficiency in any country in the world. This is simply a scam to steal people’s money.

Need a driving license? No problem!

Scams promising to issue driving licenses in just 1-2 days have become more widespread on social media. This type of fraud has been observed before, and a group of criminals involved in this scam was previously arrested.

Those promising to issue driving licenses in a short period are simply trying to steal people’s money.

Here’s how the scam works: they promise to issue a driving license within 1-2 days with no exams or other hassles, for a fee. “You pay the money, and we will get the driving license and send it to you by mail. Everything is legal,” say the scammers.

In the groups and channels opened for this “service,” fake photos of driving licenses issued in customers' names are posted.

Some even claim that they received their license within 2 days and that everything was legitimate, reassuring others. This leads some to fall for the scam and lose their money.

Scammers even promise to solve related issues for 4 million UZS for category “B” licenses and 4.8 million UZS for category “C” licenses. They also promise to solve the issue of a revoked license for 5 million UZS. Payments are typically made via card transfers.

The fraud is simple: the customer believes the offer, sends the money, and the scammer blocks them, disappearing without a trace. Unfortunately, even though the fraud is clearly visible, there are still people falling for it.

Kun.uz urges our fellow citizens to always be vigilant, avoid investing their money in dubious projects, and not fall victim to scams.
