All of us, people of different nationalities, are united by a common thing that has one of the most possible concepts: We are the people of Kazakhstan! And in this, Kazakhstan is a unique state.   In the Solonosky rural district, in the village of Solonovka, the ancient Slavic holiday Ivan Kupala took place - a holiday dedicated to the highest flowering of the forces of nature and the growth of a new harvest. Ivan Kupala is one of the most revered, most important, and riotous holidays of the year. …To cheerful music, the participants of the event pass through an arch of birch branches, ribbons and flowers.

Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market warns that participation in financial pyramids can entail a complete loss of invested funds. Such schemes are often presented as reliable investment proposals but in practice they are not financially stable and violate the laws.Key signs of a financial pyramid:Inflated promises of profitability. Income that is many times higher than market indicators is most often generated not through real activity but through funds of new participants.Mandatory attraction of new investors. Profit is paid due to a constant influx of new funds, without which the scheme quickly ceases to operate.Lack of a license. Participants are not provided with information about availability of a license issued by the Agency. The agreement may lack a legal liability for safety of investments.Active advertisement on social networks and instant Presentations, gifts, persistent calls for payment in cash or via e-wallets, bypassing official payment instruments, are often used.Use of misleading names. Fraudsters can use names such as "innovative project", "financial center", "debt program" to create appearance of legal activities.Initial investments are small. This is done to build trust and subsequent involvement in larger investments.If you suspect that you have become a victim of a financial pyramid, you must contact the police and the Financial Monitoring Agency (AFM) as soon as possible. It is recommended to file a statement without delay – this increases the likelihood of a refund. It is also important to you’re your relatives, friends and acquaintances so that they do not become next victims.Check information about the company, availability of a license and registration on the official websites of government agencies.More useful materials are available on the Fingramota.kz website. External Communications Directoratepress@finreg.kzSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ardfm/press/news/details/1027618?lang=kk
