Today, Monday, the Financial Fraud Prosecution Office began investigating a gang of 12 defendants, consisting of citizens and residents, on charges of financial fraud. The tools and methods used by the defendants in committing their crimes ranged from passing international calls using specialized devices and applications to persuading victims to invest in unlicensed digital currencies. .
Advanced methods of financial fraud
The perpetrators went beyond simple financial fraud, even going so far as to use social media to post resumes and search for jobs. They took advantage of this opportunity to obtain job offers from foreign companies to work remotely, for a small monthly salary.
The authorities arrested these defendants, and found electronic devices, SIM cards, and mobile devices that were used in their crimes in their homes. Now, they are being investigated, and they will be referred to the competent court to impose severe penalties on them.
Great efforts to combat financial fraud
Efforts that come as part of the Public Prosecution’s permanent commitment to combating financial crimes in all its forms and manifestations. The prosecution will not hesitate to bring the perpetrators to justice and impose severe penalties on them. Therefore, everyone should be wary of any contact that provides job or investment offers that may be a source of financial fraud.
How to protect yourself from financial fraud
Financial fraud as a type of crime involving deception in order to obtain financial gain. It is considered a serious threat to both individuals and organizations. There are multiple forms of financial fraud ranging from false identity and counterfeiting, all the way to electronic theft and commercial fraud.
We must understand the risks and take action to reduce them. For example, we can secure our personal information, use technology to protect ourselves, and be wary of offers that sound too good to be true.
