Unnamed Almaty professor receives 23 million sum
Professor Kaken Kamzin of Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi found himself in a difficult situation when he lost his apartment and all his savings to a cyber scam. The scam, which involved impersonation of utility workers and KNB officers, left Kamzin with a total loss of 38,800,000 tenge [1].
The professor's plight caught the attention of the public, and a crowdfunding campaign was launched to support him. Through this effort, Kamzin was able to raise about 9,529,836 tenge [1]. However, an unexpected and generous act of kindness came in the form of an anonymous benefactor who donated 23 million tenge in cash directly to the professor [1].
With this newfound financial aid, Professor Kamzin is now planning to buy back his apartment and re-register it in his name. The anonymous donor personally visited Kamzin and handed over the cash, providing a glimmer of hope in a difficult time [1].
The Almaty police are currently investigating the case under Article 190, Part 4 of the Criminal Code - "Fraud committed on an especially large scale." Unfortunately, the perpetrators behind the scam have yet to be found [1].
In a show of solidarity, Kamzin's students rented temporary accommodation for the buyers' family for a month, as they too had become victims of the scam. Professor Kamzin took to Facebook to announce the end of the fundraiser, expressing his gratitude to everyone who helped and sympathized during this challenging time [1].
This incident was reported by a certain news site, highlighting the importance of raising awareness about cyber scams and the impact they can have on individuals. It serves as a reminder for everyone to be vigilant and cautious when handling personal and financial information online.
