In Namangan, a fake trader who defrauded 10 million soums from a citizen was caught

A person who fraudulently embezzled 10 million soums was arrested in the Namangan region, according to a report from the Cyber Security Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The report states that a woman, U.M., residing in the Namangan region, filed a complaint claiming that an unknown individual had defrauded her of 10 million soums.

Swift investigative measures led to the identification of the perpetrator as R.N., also a resident of the Namangan region.

It was revealed that R.N. became acquainted with the victim, U.M., through the Telegram messenger, where he promised to invest her money in trading activities on the stock exchange, claiming he could increase her funds. Instead, R.N. fraudulently obtained 10 million soums and used the money for personal purposes.

A criminal case has been initiated against the suspect under Part 3 of Article 168 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code.

Previously, it was reported that individuals who promised to secure educational enrollment in Nukus were also caught for fraud.
