The Anti-Economic Crimes Directorate of the General Directorate of Anti-Corruption and Economic and Electronic Security has arrested an Asian involved in scam cases to steal money in cooperation with organised crime gangs. He cheated his victims into believing they won cash prizes by pretending to be a commercial bank employee and sending links asking them to update their bank details.
An investigation into the received information led to identifying and arresting the suspects and confiscating money and bank cards. Legal proceedings were taken to refer the case to the Public Prosecution.
The General Directorate calls upon citizens and residents not to respond to suspicious sources and to avoid revealing personal and bank details via the phone or any other means. Scam victims should call hotline 992 for the necessary steps.
