What should you never say to scammers, and how do they deceive Kazakhstanis?
Yuriy Lee’s interview with the Editor-in-Chief of BES.media 26.09.2025
Fear and the desire for quick profits: why do Kazakhstanis fall into scammers’ traps? Are fraudsters studying Kazakhstan’s legislation and adapting their schemes accordingly? Will government measures help combat fraud? Does the Anti-Fraud Centre help or hinder these efforts? Can the "cooling-off period" for online loans protect potential victims? Is there a global network of organised fraudsters? Do scammers spend large amounts of money on advertising? Do some microfinance organisations mislead their borrowers, and if so, how? Is it possible to recover money lost to fraudsters, and who can help?
These and many other issues were discussed by the Editor-in-Chief of BES.media with Yuriy Lee, head of the stop-piramida.kz project.
