Regarding Fraudulent Calls and Messages Made on Behalf of the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia
01.12.2025Dear citizens,
As a result of monitoring carried out by the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia (hereinafter, the Central Bank), it has been revealed that in recent fraud schemes, fraudsters have presented themselves on behalf of the Central Bank in order to extort money and through fake letters and phone calls, urged individuals to transfer their financial resources to other accounts.
We inform you that the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia never makes such statements or phone calls, does not send such messages, and does not provide banking services to individuals.
If someone calls or contacts you in any other way, introduces themselves as acting on behalf of the Central Bank, and asks or pressures you, under any pretext, to transfer money to allegedly more “secure” or “special” accounts to avoid fraud or financial loss, we urge citizens not to take any action, not to provide any personal or banking information, and to immediately contact your servicing bank.
