Scam Ring Targets Citizens via Social Media
Security authorities have dismantled a criminal gang comprising 10 individuals, including two women. The gang exploited social media platforms to trap citizens through fake advertisements impersonating banks and companies, and promoted false prizes and false claims of stolen money via fake links and websites. The criminals used advanced electronic methods, luring victims to register on fake sites and access their bank accounts, resulting in the theft of over 4 million Egyptian pounds through a criminal activity that lasted several months. The suspects were arrested with mobile phones, computers, 132 bank cards, and 26 bank accounts containing funds. They confessed to committing fraud operations. Investigations confirm that their activities led to the theft of victims’ money via fake links, and the Ministry of Interior warns citizens to be cautious and verify the source of offers and links before dealing with them to avoid falling into these scams.
