How it works
Scammers advertise visa services on WhatsApp and Telegram, claiming they can fast-track Uzbek tourist visas or provide invitations required for visa applications. After collecting upfront fees (30-50 dollars), they either disappear or provide fake invitation documents. Travelers arrive at the border with fraudulent paperwork and face detention or deportation.
