Swindlers devise novel trick to dupe Kazakhstan residents

WARNING: SCAM ALERT! Impersonators posing as National Chamber reps seek banking info.

Listen up, folks, because it's time to stay aware and keep those hard-earned coins safe. According to reports, there's been an uptick in connivers masquerading as employees of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, especially in relation to the "Baqytty Bизнес" program.

These scoundrels reach out via the NPP's call center at 1432, promising grants of 580,000 tenge to unsuspecting citizens. Once suckered in, they demand access to banking information under the guise of funds transfer, often linked to paying off a Kazakh bank debt or receiving the "winnings" through Kazpost.

To land you big-time, the conmen offer amounts ranging from 700,000 to 1,000,000 tenge. But, surprise, surprise, the only thing you'll be bagging is a hefty dose of fraud and loss.

The National Chamber of Entrepreneurs "Atameken" wants to make it clear: their role in the "Baqytty Bизнеs" project is strictly limited to providing training and support — not grant distribution.

So, here's the lowdown: stay on guard and report any suspicious calls to the law enforcement. And remember, legitimate organizations will never ask for your bank details over the phone or through electronic communication. Stick to official channels, stay informed, and keep those coins safe!

Be cautious as scam artists impersonating National Chamber reps are requesting banking information, disguised as a part of the "Baqytty Biznes" program's grant distribution process. It's essential to understand that the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs only provides training and support, not grant distribution — all while steering clear of potential fraud and financial loss. Hence, always report any suspicious calls to the authorities and be vigilant about your business and general-news affairs.
