Urgent Warning: New Wave of Tax Scams Hits Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan Issues Tax Scam Warning Kazakhstan is experiencing a surge in tax-related scams, according to a recent video released by Buhconsult, an outsourcing accounting firm. The scams involve fraudulent messages and emails that appear to be from the Committee of State Revenues (KGD), demanding immediate tax payments or facing penalties. These messages often include links to fake payment sites. "Fraudsters are using increasingly sophisticated methods," says Gulnaz Teleuova, the speaker in the video. "They're sending messages that look very official, making it difficult to distinguish them from legitimate communications." The KGD has issued warnings about these scams. The video advises citizens to check their tax obligations only through official channels, such as the KGD website or the Esalyk app. It also cautions against sharing sensitive personal and financial information via SMS or links. The video's popularity highlights the growing concern over these scams. By raising public awareness, the video aims to help protect citizens from becoming victims of financial fraud. The KGD encourages anyone who receives a suspicious communication to report it immediately.
