National Bank Warns of New Fraudulent Schemes
The National Bank of Kazakhstan warns the public about investment fraud schemes involving tokenized gold, AI developments, and trading robots promoted via social media and messaging apps. Scammers mimic legitimate brokerage platforms to display fictitious high returns, initially allowing small withdrawals to build trust before blocking access and demanding payments for fake taxes or fees. The regulator clarifies that its employees do not make unsolicited calls, offer investments, or process payments to individuals, and advises victims to report such activities to law enforcement.
