On April 9, a three-day seminar titled “Financial Security: Who Are Drops and How to Fight Financial Pyramids?” was launched at the initiative of the Department of Economic Investigations of the Mangystau Region with the support of Yessenov University.
As part of the event, trainers who had completed a specialized course at the Financial Monitoring Agency in Astana provided an in-depth analysis of the topic. Senior Lecturer of the Department of Law A.Zh. Konysov and specialists from the Department of Economic Investigations delivered lectures on financial security, presenting the information in a clear and engaging format using interactive tasks, surveys, and gamified activities. Participants who showed the most initiative were awarded special prizes.
Well-known comedians and cultural figures were invited as special guests to the seminar and held open discussions with students. They used real-life examples to explain the tactics used in financial pyramid schemes, the concept of a “drop,” and ways to protect oneself from financial threats.
