The anti-cyber crimes unit Monday arrested a group of six on financial fraud charges, the Public Security Directorate (PSD) stated.
According to a PSD statement, the anti-cyber crimes unit had received complaints from citizens subjected to electronic fraud and the theft of money in their electronic wallets. The unit’s officers traced the suspected members of the criminal cell and arrested 6.
Many cases were reported of people impersonating employees of electronic wallet companies through a phone call and asking the wallet owner to update their information and share the verification code they would receive, having access to their wallet and siphoning the money off, according to the statement.
