Cybercrime investigators in the Pavlodar Region have dismantled a group led by teenagers aged 17 to 19.
In just six weeks, they allegedly deceived dozens of people across Kazakhstan by posting fake smartphone sale advertisements on TikTok. Payments from victims were transferred to accounts controlled by money mules.
At present, 18 victims have been identified. The organizers were three residents of Pavlodar, and their identities have been confirmed. A pre-trial investigation has been launched, and the suspects have been placed under an obligation to appear before investigators.
