Azerbaijani police warn of surge in cyber fraud

On August 2, cyber fraudsters stole AZN50,000 ($30,000) from bank cards in a single day.

Azerbaijani Interior Ministry Spokesperson Elshad Hajiyev reported a rising number of citizens falling victim to such fraud, urging the public to be vigilant, Caliber.Az reports.

"Do not respond to suspicious calls or messages and block fraudulent attempts. Fraudsters often lure victims with promises of high returns on minimal investments. Beware of calls originating from Kazakhstan and never disclose your bank card details to unverified sources," Hajiyev added.
