Scam
They will be deported after serving their
sentence
Three Asian expats have been fined Dh4,000 and have
been sentenced to three months in prison and
deportation for defrauding a man through a website for
trading goods.
The case dates back to June 2021, when one of the
accused had put up a dog for sale on a website.
The accused had promised to send the dog on the same
day, but it did not arrive. When the buyer got in touch
with him for the same, he said that he was unable to send
the dog due to emergency reasons. He also asked for
Dh8,000 as a refundable deposit for the shipping
company to ship the dog.
The buyer declined to pay the amount saying that he had
insufficient funds. The seller then asked for Dhi,500 to be
sent to another account.
After paying the amount, the man realised he had been
subject to fraud and informed the police.
Apoliceman involved in the investigations said that the
team was able to identify the suspect who admitted to
committing the fraud in interrogations. He said that he
participated with other people and lured them into
buying pets by posting advertisements onawebsite
