Tengrinews.kz - A woman accused of repeated fraud has been sentenced in Astana, according to the capital’s prosecutor's office.
The resident of Astana posed as a bank employee and spread information among acquaintances about her ability to help them obtain mortgage housing without a down payment through "Otbasy bank" JSC.
"For instance, the accused offered an acquaintance to purchase a three-room apartment through a mortgage, which was seized by a second-tier bank and being auctioned. She requested 630,000 tenge to participate in the auction. Later, she informed her acquaintance that 11 million tenge was required to open an account in order to proceed with the mortgage. In this way, under similar pretenses, she deceived her acquaintance, misusing her trust, and fraudulently acquired more than 14 million tenge," the prosecutor's office reported.
As a result of her criminal actions, 22 victims suffered financial damage totaling more than 55 million tenge.
The guilty was sentenced to three years in prison. The civil claims of the victims were upheld.
The court's decision has not yet come into legal force.
Previously, twenty Kazakhstani residents were deceived by scammers in Pavlodar, who tricked them into sending money based on a "start" signal in the WhatsApp messenger.
