In the West Kazakhstan Region, police prevented 1.3 million tenge from being transferred to fraudsters, Polisia.kz reports.

During the preventive measures, police officers noticed a man standing near a terminal in one of the city's shopping and entertainment centers and talking on the phone at the same time. The man's nervousness and hasty actions while entering data raised suspicions. The police intervened and tried to explain that there might be fraudsters behind the phone. However, the man insisted on transferring money. The woman on the phone, who introduced herself as "Tamara", advised him not to listen to anyone, and a few minutes later her "daughter" and "son" also joined the conversation. As it turned out, for several days the fraudsters called the man, introducing themselves as police officers, and convincing him that his savings were in danger.

To "save" the money, he had to withdraw funds from the deposit and transfer them to a "safe" account. Thanks to the timely action of police officers, the transfer of 1.3 million tenge was prevented. Due to the increase in telephone and Internet fraud, especially crimes targeting pensioners, police and private security officers in the West Kazakhstan region are conducting preventive measures near ATMs and in crowded places - primarily shopping and entertainment centers. The goal is to act quickly in the "risk zone", prevent money transfers to fraudsters, and raise public awareness. The police warn: real law enforcement officers will never demand money transfers. In case of any suspicious call, we ask you to immediately call "102".
