The most common fraudulent schemes include calls from law enforcement officers, second-tier banks, and the National Bank. They usually ask to transfer money to a “safe account.” Besides, attackers can pose as mobile operators offering to extend the contract or settle “debts.”
Keywords and phrases that scammers often use when trying to deceive Kazakhstanis are as follows: “National Bank,” “Suspicious activity,” “Safe account,” “Access to the account will be blocked,” “Security Service,” “Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.” In addition, criminals always ask to “give the code from the SMS, identity card details.”
Social engineering is based on human weaknesses, fears and psychological trauma. Therefore, it is crucial to always be on guard and check any information, especially that which seems urgent and requires quick decisions.
