Shopping scams
Accounts posing as sellers of goods and services that do not actually exist.
Officers from the Cybercrime Division of the Pavlodar Regional Police Department have shut down a group led by teenagers aged 17 to 19.
Over the course of a month and a half, they managed to defraud dozens of people across the country by posting fake ads for smartphones on TikTok. The money from the defrauded buyers was transferred to the accounts of “drop-off points.”
To date, 18 victims have been identified. The organizers are three residents of Pavlodar, whose identities have been confirmed. A pre-trial investigation has been launched, and the suspects have been placed under a court order to appear.

A new type of scam: the seller receives payment for the item but claims the payment “didn’t go through.”
They ask for payment again and promise to cancel the first transaction. As a result, the buyer loses their money twice.
Yet another fraudulent Instagram store is allegedly selling the Apple Vision Pro for half the market price.
