Ajman Police arrests a phone fraud gang of 15 people

Ajman Police managed to arrest a gang of Asian nationality consisting of fifteen people, who defrauded other people by requesting to update their bank details or official documents by impersonating official figures with the intention of trapping them and seizing their money. Regarding the details of the case, Colonel Ahmed Saeed Al Nuaimi, Director of the Criminal Investigation Department at Ajman Police, stated that information and reports were received about people defrauding other people by calling from phone cards registered with forged data and documents, and requesting to update their bank details or update personal documents such as an ID card by impersonating an official, in order to exploit this data to seize money. Accordingly, the detectives from Ajman Police worked on searching and investigating to arrest the gang, and by taking all necessary legal measures, 15 people were arrested, all of Asian nationality, and 19 mobile phones used in the fraud were seized. When asked about the incident, they admitted to defrauding people, so they were detained until legal procedures against them are completed. The Director of the Criminal Investigation and Investigation Department at Ajman Police praised the efficiency and experience of the detectives and criminal investigations and their efforts that enabled them to arrest the accused, calling on the public not to believe such calls and not to hesitate to report them. He explained that fraudsters make them believe that their accounts or bank cards have been blocked or frozen in order to seize their money, and that banks do not request updating bank data over the phone, calling on bank customers not to be deceived by these fake calls and messages and to go to the nearest bank branch and update the data only through customer service employees at the bank’s headquarters, warning of the danger of providing anyone with any data or bank account numbers that they request, stressing that Ajman Police will be on the lookout and will deal firmly with anyone who thinks of tampering with the security of the homeland and the safety of citizens and residents.
