Kazakhstan's Prosecutor General's Office has warned citizens about a new online fraud scheme: scammers are sending fake parcel delivery notifications while posing as employees of the joint-stock company Kazpost. The website infohub.kz reports this.
According to the supervisory agency, since November 9, 2026, messages have been recorded from a foreign subscriber number, +212 6 12 82 15 27, informing recipients of an alleged upcoming parcel delivery. Similar notifications may also come from other numbers.
Under the pretext of needing to clarify the delivery address, citizens are asked to follow an attached link and fill in the missing details themselves. To make the message appear credible, an additional instruction is sent explaining how to follow the link.
However, the link leads to a fake resource imitating a postal service. Through it, the scammers collect users' personal data, including home addresses and other confidential information.
"A phishing internet resource was used that imitated a parcel delivery notification, creating the appearance of an official message from a postal service and misleading users. Of particular danger is the fact that the fraudulent messages are sent in the state language, the use of which inspires greater trust and lowers the recipient's vigilance. The messages are formatted using an official business style, characteristic wording and attributes imitating postal service notifications. As a result, recipients are left with a false impression that the message is genuine, which increases the risk of following malicious links and handing over personal data and money to the scammers," the supervisory agency added.
The agency urged Kazakhstanis to exercise digital caution: do not follow suspicious links and do not enter personal or banking data on unknown websites. Information about postal items should be checked only through the official channels of postal services.
