Crimes under the article “Fraud” constitute 19% of all crimes that are registered in the country.
“Fraud accounts for 19% of all crimes registered in our country,” said RK Minister of Internal Affairs Kalmukhanbet Kasymov at the CCS during a press conference on strengthening law and order and security.
According to the minister, it (fraud) is mainly related to the trust attitude of the victim and the suspect.
“For 8 months we have initiated 18.5 thousand criminal cases on fraud. Of these, 5,600 cases were sent to court, and we stopped 9,000 due to the fact that we had civil law relations and the parties entered into contracts, ”said Kalmukhanbet Kasymov.
Crimes related to fraud, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs divided into 4 categories.
“Internet fraud, when the victim and the suspect do not see each other, are contacted by phone or internet. The victim, believing his opponent from the other side, transfers money to him, transfers some funds, and then turns to the police ... we do not have an address or this person.
The second one is all kinds of loans-pledges, when a person loses a certificate or by negligence transfers information about his documents to another person who receives loans-pledges on these documents.
The third is when a person, trusting, gives data about his payment cards, then the offender removes money from these cards and disappears.
The fourth type is telephone, when they call and say that your son is in some kind of unpleasant situation, we will help you, ”the minister explained.
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that advocacy plays a very important role in preventing fraud.
“There should only be explanatory work!”, He said.
At the same time, the minister noted that the explanatory work with citizens is carried out both by the police and by the bodies of the General Prosecutor's Office, by the mass media, and by posting information in the districts.
"Over the past three years, the number of these crimes has decreased by 30%," he concluded.
