YEREVAN, October 28. /ARKA/. The Central Bank of Armenia is warning citizens about the increasing incidence of fraud using forged documents allegedly issued by the regulator.
According to the Central Bank’s press service, fraudsters have recently been increasingly using forged powers of attorney, certificates, and other documents, presenting them as issued by the Central Bank of Armenia in order to mislead citizens.
In this way, fraudsters attempt to obtain loans in the names of individuals from various financial institutions or carry out other fraudulent transactions.
The Central Bank notes that financial institutions generally do not require powers of attorney or certificates issued by the regulator when serving clients. “If, when using the services of financial institutions, you are presented with powers of attorney or certificates issued by the Central Bank of Armenia, or are referred to similar documents, we urge you to verify their authenticity by contacting the Central Bank,” the statement reads.
