Fraudsters steal money from Kazakhstani people under a new scheme – National Bank

Astana. June 26. KazTAG – Fraudsters are stealing money from  Kazakhstani people using a new scheme, said the National Bank of Kazakhstan.
“At the first stage, attackers, posing as employees of the National Bank or other government and law enforcement agencies, send fake documents and try to take possession of funds by providing details for bank transfers,” reads a statement issued by the National Bank.
According to the information, after receiving the money, the scammers again contact the defrauded citizens, posing as lawyers, and offer assistance in returning the money embezzled by the criminals, allegedly acting as part of a class action lawsuit from all affected individuals. At the same time, in order to get the money back, they ask you to pay for “legal services.”
Once the money transactions are completed, the scammers stop contacting people.
