Fake payouts

Scammers are promising government payouts in the name of the National Bank of Kazakhstan.

Under the guise of a government assistance program, a website promises compensation "to support the population and promote import substitution."

In reality, this is a scam designed to exploit public trust. Users are asked to enter their Individual Identification Number (IIN), supposedly to check their eligibility for payments starting from 150,000 tenge, determine the "amount due," and receive the funds to a bank card or account.

Scammers continue to use a long-standing but highly effective tactic: offering fake government payments, compensation, and "financial assistance" on behalf of the President, the Government, or various ministries.

Such websites typically display large payment amounts, create a false sense of urgency, cite fictitious decrees and regulations, and then ask users to provide their IIN, bank card details, or pay a "fee," "state duty," or "transfer confirmation charge."

Warning signs of a fake scheme:

• References to non-existent government programs
• Use of photos and names of public officials to create false credibility
• Promises of payments to nearly everyone without clear eligibility criteria
• Pressure through limited deadlines and "urgent directives"
• Requests for IINs followed by demands for payment under the guise of commissions

It is important to remember that legitimate government payments are not processed through suspicious websites, do not require advance payments for "activation" or "release," and should only be verified through official government sources.

Scammers created the Telegram channel "ҚМДБ — рәсім арнасы" and are presenting it as an official resource of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan (SAMK).

The channel publishes fake posts about a supposedly approved "grant from the Muftiate" in the amount of 1 million tenge and then demands payment of a "membership fee" of 35,000 tenge.

After the money is transferred to a personal bank card, the victim receives a forged certificate, but no such grant actually exists.

Scammers ask people to send electricity payment receipts, supposedly to начислить cashback bonuses.

Scammers have launched advertisements on behalf of a supposed Citizens Support Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan, claiming to offer one-time social payments for public sector employees.
