Money doubling scam: expat arrested

 
Muscat: The Royal Oman Police's General Department of Criminal Investigation and Research on Monday has apprehended an African national accused of defrauding a citizen by falsely promising to double their money. The suspect allegedly convinced the victim to part with 22,000 Omani Riyals under the guise of doubling the sum.

Upon investigation, authorities swiftly located and arrested the suspect, seizing the full amount in question. Legal proceedings are now underway.

Citizens are urged to report any suspicious activities to law enforcement to prevent similar fraudulent schemes in the future.
