The National Bank of Uzbekistan has reported an increase in cases of phone scams targeting its clients. The scammers, posing as employees from one of the bank’s departments, inform potential victims that an unusual device has accessed their personal accounts and request personal information to allegedly prevent the theft of funds.
The National Bank urged its clients to be vigilant, emphasizing that its employees will never ask for personal information or request the SMS code sent to clients. Additionally, bank employees will only call from a landline number, which can always be found on the bank’s official website.
“In such cases, clients can clarify the situation by contacting the call center at 1344 or (78) 148-00-10. The bank strongly advises maintaining vigilance and not sharing personal information with third parties to avoid becoming a victim of fraud,” the National Bank stated.
Remember, your online security depends on your awareness and caution. Do not fall for scammers’ tricks and always verify information through official sources.
