On December 12, 2025, the members of the “El Tutka” debate club, together with the club leader Tlepbergenov Orynbasar, held an informative meeting with representatives of the Zhetysu District Prosecutor’s Office. This important event was organized at the initiative of the Zhetysu District Prosecutor, Urazhanov Talgat Bulatovich.
The meeting was attended by the Prosecutor of the Zhetysu District Prosecutor’s Office, 3rd-class lawyer Mukhammet Anel Ardakkysy, the Prosecutor of the Zhetysu District Prosecutor’s Office, 2nd-class lawyer Azhikurman Aruzhan Baktykulkyzy, as well as the Prosecutor of the Zhetysu District Prosecutor’s Office, 3rd-class lawyer Mellat Kalamkas Dumankyzy.
The main focus of the discussion was the widespread types of fraud, their mechanisms, and effective prevention and protection strategies for citizens. The prosecutors gave detailed explanations about internet fraud, deception schemes related to online banking and bank cards, fake investment projects and financial pyramids, as well as fraudulent schemes in the housing and employment sectors.
Special attention was given to the growing danger of online fraud. It was emphasized that modern digital technologies allow criminals to remain anonymous, which creates significant difficulties when examining international servers, collecting cyber-evidence, and identifying offenders. Issues related to cooperation with foreign online platforms and challenges frequently encountered during investigations were thoroughly discussed.
During the meeting, prosecutors shared practical advice with future legal professionals and illustrated key points with real examples from their work. They highlighted the importance of avoiding suspicious links, protecting personal data, ensuring secure online payments, and relying only on official and verified platforms. The discussion became a valuable source of practical knowledge for law students and helped them better understand the crucial role of legal awareness in protecting citizens from fraudulent activities.
