The Ministry of Internal Affairs spoke about combating Internet fraud, Polisia.kz reports.
- Information technologies and online services are now widely implemented, more and more information is becoming available in cyberspace. This significantly leads to the vulnerability of electronic data and contributes to the commission of Internet fraud. They have become one of the most frequently committed types of crimes over the past few years, - noted the head of the criminal police department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Kanat Nurmagambetov.
Fraudsters skillfully use the entire arsenal of technologies and social engineering to deceive citizens.
For example, a 24-year-old resident of Kostanay used malware to extract personal data - logins, passwords, IP addresses of Internet users, which he sold for cryptocurrency through DarkNet and Telegram. Their cost varied from 5,000 tenge per file, depending on its size. It was established that the criminal earned more than 1.5 million tenge in this way.
In addition, the defendant was involved in so-called “carding” – stealing bank card details and reselling them, and also taught how to create and distribute computer viruses for money.
Thanks to the timely measures taken by the cyber police, the defendant was detained and convicted.

– Telephone fraud based on social engineering continues to gain momentum. Trusting citizens, under the influence of deception by imaginary bank and law enforcement employees, lose their savings and take out unaffordable loans.
In this area, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is increasing cooperation with foreign colleagues. In April, during an international special operation in the Ukrainian cities of Odessa and Zaporozhye, five fraudulent call centers were liquidated. They committed crimes against Kazakhstanis. More than 30 participants were detained, and the necessary measures are being taken, – added Kanat Nurmagambetov.
Similar fraudulent structures have been identified by the police in Kazakhstan.
– During operational activities in September in the city of Almaty, the criminal police liquidated four call centers and detained 47 foreigners. They were engaged in fraud against citizens of foreign countries. 1.5 thousand cell phones, over a thousand SIM cards and more than fifty units of computer equipment were seized from them. Investigative measures are being carried out, the seized equipment is being studied, the police colonel said.

A 23-year-old resident of Shymkent used the pity and compassion of citizens. He created a duplicate Instagram account to raise money allegedly for the treatment of seriously ill children, indicating his bank accounts. At the same time, the parents of these children did not even know about it. In this way, he collected 32 million tenge from sympathetic Kazakhstanis.
He was detained and taken into custody. During the search, two cars with VIP numbers and a large sum of money were seized from him.
To ensure anonymity, the scammers call via WhatsApp. Account registration also occurs secretly, through SIM boxes.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is taking measures to identify such devices. In just a month of work, the criminal police identified and seized 20 such devices.
