With the rise of technology, online fraud in Kazakhstan is becoming increasingly sophisticated. One alarming trend involves “droppers” – people who help criminals launder or transfer stolen money. Some do this knowingly, but many unknowingly fall into these schemes, unaware of the legal risks involved.

A REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE

A recent case in the Karaganda region showed the consequences of being a dropper. An individual shared their bank card details with third parties and was later taken to court. The court ruled that they must repay one million tenge to the fraud victim. This case highlights a crucial point: even unintentional involvement in such schemes can lead to severe penalties.
