Unveiled: Over 30 instances of fraud connected to "accommodating loans" in Astana

A 37-year-old woman, posing as a specialist with experience in lending, has been detained and placed in a temporary detention facility following the discovery of over 30 instances of fraud linked to preferential loans under a state program.

According to the Capital police, the woman gained the trust of a victim and promised to secure a preferential loan at 8% per annum. However, the suspect demanded prepayment from the victim under various pretexts, and upon receiving the funds, appropriated a total of approximately 5 million tenge.

The fraud occurred under the state program for preferential loans, as previously mentioned. The ongoing preliminary investigation into the case is shedding light on more details, but the exact amount appropriated by the suspect has not been disclosed yet.

This case serves as a reminder for citizens to be vigilant and cautious, especially when dealing with strangers. It's crucial not to trust strangers in light of the current case, and to verify the authenticity of any requests for prepayment or sensitive information.

The police are urging citizens to report any suspicious activities related to preferential loans or any other financial transactions to the authorities. The suspect is currently involved in more than 30 similar incidents, and the investigation is ongoing.

It's important to note that the suspect has not been specifically linked to any visa fraud cases in the article. The person currently imprisoned for committing over 30 cases of fraud involving grants from a state aid loan program is not specified in the available public information.

The Capital police are working diligently to bring all those involved in such fraudulent activities to justice. They reiterate their commitment to protecting the interests of the citizens and ensuring the integrity of the state programs.
