Police Arrested Arab Expat Specialist In A Ticket Scam

An Arab expat has been arrested for orchestrating a fraud network involving the sale of counterfeit tickets using commercial accounts on social media.

As a result of the dedicated efforts of the Criminal Security Sector, specifically the "Cybercrime Department" of the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation, this breakthrough was achieved. One of the world's leading experts in electronic fraud, particularly targeting individuals in the country, was successfully unraveled by their investigation.

The perpetrator and his collaborators manipulated mobile phone number contracts, registering them under false names. He then made use of these fake identities to communicate with victims through WhatsApp, operating via counterfeit commercial accounts. Under the guise of selling concert tickets, they would send bank links to individuals, subsequently siphoning off their money.

An extensive search and investigation revealed that the mastermind had deceived numerous individuals into facilitating bank transactions on his behalf in exchange for commissions. Additionally, he had exploited people with special needs, resorting to blackmail to gain their cooperation, as well as the identities of others, for purchasing these phone lines.

A meticulously planned operation led to the arrest of the suspect after the appropriate legal permissions were obtained. Authorities discovered over 75 mobile phone lines and five devices used to manage counterfeit accounts when they searched his premises. It was also revealed that members of the network were wanted in connection with 22 similar cases. The accused, his associates, and the seized items are now being referred to the competent authorities for further legal action.
