A gang of maid and two men from an African country lured a 67-year-old visitor from Panama after he was tempted to get $ 12 million and seized $ 121,000 as fees for the huge wealth they promised.

Investigations by the Dubai Public Prosecutor said that the first defendant, a company manager, falsified another defendant with official letters, letters attributed to the Federal Tax Authority, letters from a bank, and documents attributed to the Dubai Financial Services Authority.

While the second defendant in the case involved in withdrawing money, the victim (the Panamanian visitor) transferred them in the context of the fraud he suffered, and arrested the third defendant, for possession of 180 thousand dirhams also obtained from the victim.

The victim said in an investigation by the Public Prosecution that a UAE investment group contacted him via e-mail and offered him a $ 12 million financing contract in exchange for an annual transfer of 4%, equivalent to $ 480,000.

He added that he came to the UAE, met a person in UAE uniform at a hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road, signed a financing contract with him, paid $ 8,700 in document fees and delivered the agreed amount to him in Panama.Almost two weeks after his return home, the man contacted him. He asked him to transfer $ 26,500, especially for the fees of obtaining a clearance certificate from the bank, and already transferred the required amount in the hope of obtaining the financing amount.

The fraudster continued to contact him and asked him to pay fees, until the total amount paid by 121,450 dollars, and waited for the amount of financing but received nothing, he came to the state again, and went to the Dubai Securities Authority as the funding body, and presented them with the documents in his possession, He was surprised by the Commission's response that it had not sent him anything, and at the time he realized that he had been a fraud.

A witness from Dubai Police said that as soon as the victim was notified of the incident, the bank accounts on which the money was transferred were checked, the defendant who took the money was caught, and in turn instructed the defendant for fraud and forgery.Then the other woman (maid) who was in possession of the money was caught.
