Internet Fraudsters on the Rise

The Center for Forecasting Criminal Threats and Public Security Risks of the Committee for Legal Statistics and Special Records of the General Prosecutor's Office warns of the increased activity of internet fraudsters drawing citizens into financial scams. These scams utilize fake investment platforms, deepfake technologies, and fictitious services for recovering previously lost investments.

While attackers previously used "Kazatomprom" phishing sites, cybercriminals today are creating fake investment platforms posing as second-tier banks and major construction companies. Using deepfake technologies—incorporating the images, videos, or voices of famous figures—they promote these fraudulent platforms to steal citizens' money.

Additionally, services claiming to recover funds for victims of unscrupulous brokers are being actively advertised on social media.

In reality, this is a secondary scam targeting citizens who have already lost money through investments.

Stay vigilant!

To protect your funds, it is recommended to:

•not click on suspicious links;

•never share personal and banking information with third parties;

•verify information regarding investment offers spread through social networks, messengers, and advertisements, especially those promising high and guaranteed returns;

•immediately contact law enforcement agencies and inform your bank if you detect any facts of fraud.

Scammers exploit your trust. Do not let yourself be deceived.
