In the Chui region, law enforcement agencies are drawing citizens' attention to cases of fraud occurring in WhatsApp groups called "JDC in Kyrgyzstan," which are financial pyramids.
According to information provided by the press service of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the Chui region, scammers add users to messenger groups and offer to invest money, promising high and guaranteed profits without any legal grounds. To facilitate payments, the fraudsters send QR codes from various banks.
The criminals offer several "levels of participation":
- Level 1 — 6,800 soms;
- Level 2 — 33,000 soms;
- Level 3 — 45,000 soms.
Law enforcement agencies strongly recommend that citizens be cautious and follow these safety measures:
- avoid transferring money to unknown individuals via QR codes and links from messengers;
- check the legality and official registration of online platforms;
- if fraud is detected, immediately contact law enforcement, keeping all correspondence and payment documents.
