The “Secret Santa” trend has appeared on Threads, with users posting their bank card details in the hope of receiving gifts. However, this can be risky: fraudsters may use the information for phishing attacks and theft of funds. Even Kaspi warns that while the trend may seem fun, users should remain cautious.
It is also worth remembering that since 2025, individuals who receive transfers from more than 100 different people within a three-month period, amounting to up to 12 minimum wages (KZT 1,020,000), may become subject to review by the State Revenue Committee.
