In this regard, it was ordered to intensify work in a number of areas. Thus, in order to solve the problem of the protracted process of registering criminal cases of this category, it was ordered to develop and approve a clear mechanism for determining the signs of financial pyramids.
In addition, according to the government, in order to prevent fraudsters from issuing loans, it is necessary to take measures to strengthen the information security system when applying for online loans. Here, it was instructed to review the procedures for identifying a person when applying for them.
Also, the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market (ARRFR) will consider the issue of insuring online loans from fraudulent attacks.
Another issue raised at the meeting was that “people who leak databases to the Internet or to fraudsters are not punished in any way.”
Therefore, the Cabinet of Ministers believes that it is necessary to work out the issue of introducing liability for the deliberate transfer of other people's bank accounts, accounts, cards, identity card data, and telephone number databases to third parties.
