Mahmoud Siddiq - Cairo
Egyptian security experts have predicted that the fall of Ahmed al-Mestreeh, who seized millions of pounds of money on the pretext of employing them, would serve as a warning to those who were victims of similar but small-scale operations.
As if the arrest of the deceased in mid-2015 and then sentenced to 15 years imprisonment sparked the fantasies of amateur cheating citizens with large quick gains, and gave them a big push towards the tradition of the rest, and occasionally publish the Egyptian newspapers news of the "rest" new, the most recent days ago when the Ministry of Interior 4 people were arrested on the same way citizens.
The spread of the phenomenon prompted the media to launch the title of "resting" on all those who put on the citizens under the pretext of investing their money and operating for a large monthly profits, after he called himself the nickname himself "Ryan Upper" proportion of Ahmed Al Rayyan, the phenomenon of the use of funds in the eighties of the last century.
Fancy profits
The rest of the republic was very active and collected large sums of money. According to the investigations and the statements of the victims, one of them collected about one billion pounds (the dollar was less than 17 pounds). The rest took the same argument in the same vocabulary. They claim to invest the money of those who are deceived.
In the city of Mahalla al-Kubra northwest of Cairo, the 48-year-old MFA seized 40 million pounds, claiming to be employed in the trade of medical supplies and equipment in return for a monthly profit of 30-40 percent. In May.
While Ali, M, and his son, daughter and husband managed to collect 70 million pounds from the people of the Khanka Center in Dakahlia governorate north of Cairo on the pretext of investing in plastic trade and building a factory for its products.
Headquarters as banks
In Dakahlia, but in the area of Al-Marj Kun Nusab and its partner company inside a headquarters similar to the headquarters of the banks of air-conditioned halls and outlets and numbers waiting for the withdrawal of profits and other deposit, contracts and papers and customer service, even managed to collect tens of millions of pounds.
The company received - according to investigations - more than one million pounds a day of 1800 citizens saliva on the percentage of monthly profits approaching the annual interest rate of banks.
Citizens from the same province have accused TRA, a resident of the Hadaeq Al-Ahram area of Giza province, of being accused of collecting 200 million pounds to be used in the field of drugs and drugs for a monthly profit of more than 40 percent.
Record numbers
The size of the spread of the phenomenon revealed by the huge numbers collected by these, in the province of the lake fell a new rest of the citizens of nearly half a billion pounds after they were inspired by the importation of equipment for large electricity companies, and one of the victims of the newspapers that the accused raised funds from orphans, Zakat money.
Tanta, in the north of Cairo, was able to seize 600 million pounds, claiming to be employed in real estate and cars earlier this year.
He was nicknamed the "King" and "the rest of the staff," after he managed to raise nearly one billion pounds from his fellow employees and relatives for allegedly employing them in a real estate investment company, And other import and export Nasr City established them to facilitate the persuasion of his customers.
She is also impressed
Interestingly enough, it was not just men, but women who collected millions of pounds in the same way they called them the "happy" ones, including a lady in Balakas city in Dakahlia, Manal HW took over 20 million pounds and Iman N "- a fruit merchant from Fayoum governorate - seized one million five hundred thousand pounds from five women under the pretext of operating in the citrus trade, in addition to the other from the province of Minya in Upper Egypt.
The statements of citizens who have been exposed by the evacuees are similar, from tempting them in the early months to high profits, and they are more attracted and enter more money, including those who sell real estate or goldsmiths.
As time passes, the citizen brings his relatives and friends to use their money, and it is only months until the victim is exposed, and everyone is assured that they were victims of a large-scale monumentation in which the deceased collected millions of pounds and disappeared.
Culture of profit gain
Security expert Maj. Gen. Sayed Hamdeen stressed that since the emergence of the first relaxed in the province of Luxor does not pass a week without the announcement of new rest in all regions of the Republic, and seized large numbers of millions of victims fall in their nets with the temptations of quick profit when the use of their money.
The strange thing is that, according to Hamdeen, al-Jazeera Net, we find learners and university degree holders, and sometimes university professors fall prey to these nuns despite everything published almost daily in newspapers and satellite stations, despite the great similarity in the methods and methods of the monument.
"It is enough to know that the security authorities arrested 22 people in the same way in just three months," he said.
Why do victims fall?
Ihab Yousef, a security risk management expert, is repeating the crime in this way to the lack of a vision for victims to invest their money in private projects and fear of losing their money if they fail. They go to the swindlers who pay them big dividends in the first months. They are active propaganda and bring in dozens of relatives. And their knowledge.
And if we add - according to the security expert - the item of the alleged rise in the price of profits of up to 40% per month of capital and perhaps more in some cases you can imagine how the patrons trick the imagination of ordinary people who are looking to increase their incomes in the face of successive price increases and low purchasing value of the pound.
In press statements, Youssef called on the media to continue presenting models and stories to the victims in order to alert citizens before they become victims of such methods.
In the 1980s, money-making companies spread, but the Egyptian government closed them on charges of wasting depositors' money. The funds were returned to citizens over many years, either in cash or goods at inflated prices, causing large losses to depositors.
The owners of these companies said the government intervened to protect the banks, which complained about the withdrawal of customers from them for the benefit of companies that were making more profits.
