Financial pyramid schemes are not just a thing of the past — they remain a reality today. Every year, thousands of people in Kazakhstan fall victim to fraudsters and lose their savings. Why do people continue to believe promises of “easy money”? How can a scam be recognised before it is too late? And why are many victims reluctant to take legal action against fraudsters? In this episode, we speak with Yuriy Lee, founder of the Stop Piramida project, who has spent years combating financial fraud and helping people avoid falling into scammers’ traps.
