The Department of State Revenue of the Mangystau region informs that recently there have been cases of fraud in which intruders can pose as government officials and use various schemes to gain access to personal data and financial resources of citizens.One of the schemes is that under the pretext of non–existent problems with the tax service, such as an allegedly blocked account or the presence of a letter from the tax service, a citizen is offered to urgently make an appointment with the agency. To do this, the scammers allegedly help to book a queue online and ask you to dictate the code that comes in the SMS. In fact, this code is a confirmation of a banking transaction, and by communicating it, the person himself opens access to his accounts. As a result, fraudsters get the opportunity to steal funds.In order not to become a victim of fraudsters, citizens are advised:- do not trust suspicious mailings and calls, even if the interviewee introduces himself as an employee of government agencies;- do not follow questionable links from messages;- under no circumstances disclose codes, card details, or other personal information received by SMS.;- do not transfer money at the request of unknown persons;- it is mandatory to verify the accuracy of incoming information through official websites or contact centers of government agencies;- at the slightest suspicion, immediately contact the bank and law enforcement agencies.It is important to remember that government employees do not have the right to request personal data, bank account numbers, cards, and other banking details from citizens by phone or via messengers.Take care of your data and finances.
