Kazakhstan became one of the world's largest mining hubs after 2021, so our readers here know the industry: hashrate, pools, and exchanges are everyday words. That same visibility attracted fraud. In Almaty, Astana, and Shymkent we see the same patterns again and again: Telegram channels selling passive mining income, fake exchanges advertised on Instagram, and pyramid schemes promising three percent a day. The first deposit shows a profit on screen. When you try to withdraw, the platform invents taxes and fees.
Start with the police: call 102 or file a report at your nearest police department, and keep the reference number. You can then submit a statement to the Committee for Financial Monitoring, which tracks suspicious financial operations. The National Bank of Kazakhstan publishes regular warnings about fake platforms and pyramids; if your platform appears on that list, it becomes important evidence. The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) gives the country a real digital-asset framework: licensed exchanges operate under it, which opens a legal path for claims.
A police report makes you a victim on record, but police rarely have the tools to follow funds across chains and offshore exchanges. That is where our work begins. We document every transaction from wallet to wallet, build an evidence file, and, with our Swiss legal partners at SarahLegal.io, pursue action against identifiable recipients.
Do not let shame delay you. Fraud is a professional crime and you are a lawful victim. Before you contact us, delete nothing: transaction hashes, wallet addresses, the platform URL, chat logs, and payment receipts form the base of the case. The ledger forgets nothing, but a cold trail is harder to follow, so act now.
