The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan recently announced that the police have dismantled four cross-border telecommunication fraud dens in Almaty, arresting 52 suspects, including 47 foreigners and 5 Kazakhs. The suspects allegedly made fraudulent calls to people in Iran, India, China, the USA, Malaysia, and other countries under the guise of fake investments. It has been initially determined that the suspects have made over 2,000 calls overseas. During the search, the police seized more than 1,500 mobile phones, 57 laptops, and over 1,000 SIM cards.
The case is currently under further investigation. The Ministry of Internal Affairs advises the public not to click on unknown links or attachments, not to leave personal ID numbers online, and not to disclose credit card security codes to strangers. Before making investments, the public should consult official agencies to understand the project details and avoid being deceived.
