Professor of the Department of Law Balgimbekov D.U., together with Police Major Ilipbayev Dulat Melisovich, conducted an awareness session with students of group BYuR 24/23 on cybercrime fraud, where student youth fall victim.
During the event, Police Major Ilipbayev D.M. urged students to exercise maximum caution regarding fraudsters and provided a number of recommendations on how to avoid falling into their traps. The police officer explained how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud, how to protect oneself from fake websites and fraudulent online shops, and how to secure personal accounts using strong passwords and two-factor authentication. The officer cited examples of the most common remote fraud schemes and explained in detail how to respond to suspicious calls and messages from unknown individuals. He emphasized that fraudsters frequently exploit schemes related to online gaming and communication via social networks and messaging applications to extort money from young people. He drew students' attention to the fact that in-game purchases and item trading may attract the attention of malicious actors. Attempts to gain access to gaming accounts through phishing websites or deceptive messages are frequently encountered. Students may be persuaded to provide bank card details or login credentials and passwords for their accounts or banking applications. The officer outlined the correct procedure for responding to suspicious calls and messages. At the conclusion of the meeting, the actions to be taken in the event of fraud attempts targeting students or their close ones were reviewed.
