The Migration Agency has called on Uzbeks working in Russia to be aware when using bank services.
According to the agency, there have been cases of various frauds related to banking services among labor migrants working in Russia. Unauthorized money withdrawals via money transfer applications and opening high-interest loans under migrants' names have become frequent.
Law enforcement agencies have launched a number of investigations into these cases.
"We ask our compatriots to be careful when using banking services, in particular money transfer systems, and not to disclose personal information to anyone," the statement says.
Daryo.uz has previously reported on some 47 citizens of Uzbekistan who were temporarily detained in the Rostov region and were returned to Uzbekistan with the support of the Consulate General of Uzbekistan in Russia and the Foreign Labor Migration Agency (FMMA).
