The Cyber Crime Unit of Bangladesh Police has initiated a large-scale investigation into illegal gambling payments funneled through bKash. By tracking suspicious patterns and wallet clusters, authorities have already flagged over 200 accounts.
Many of these accounts were created using forged NIDs or third-party SIMs. Transactions are often masked as gaming top-ups or e-commerce payments to avoid detection.
bKash has pledged cooperation and introduced new AI tools to detect transaction anomalies. Users are warned to avoid sending money to unfamiliar gaming-related wallet IDs.
