A group of people in Tashkent were recently arrested for committing card fraud. The individuals posed as Click employees and tricked unsuspecting citizens into giving them personal and financial information, media reports.
One resident of the Yunusabad district fell victim to this scam and lost a staggering UZS 1.2mn after divulging his card details to a fraudster.
The subsequent investigation into the case revealed the involvement of three individuals from the Mirzo-Ulugbek district, who allegedly impersonated security officers of the payment system to deceive clients into disclosing personal data, which was then used to transfer money to other accounts.
The suspects now face criminal proceedings under Article 168, paragraph 3 (fraud) of the Criminal Code.
