Scammers Target Clients of the National Bank of Uzbekistan

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.
