UAE Tug: A case of fraud has come to light from Dubai, in which swindlers have stolen 15,000 towels. Not only did they take away but also the laptop, cashewnuts and tires were also taken away. These swindlers would first win the trust of the traders by making pre-payment and then disappear with the goods.
Khaleej Times report has revealed that some fraudsters working in the office of Dubai Silicon Oasis used to contact businessmen and first make some small payments to win their trust.
Ran away with the goods, switched off the phones too
Some traders who were victims of fraud said that these fraudsters had used post-dated checks to get bulk orders like iPhones and perfumes and suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace about two weeks ago. The traders also visited the offices of the thugs’ company and their warehouses, but everything was empty. They even switched off their numbers and their belongings, worth more than 12 million dirhams, including towels, all went missing.
Along with the company owner, the staff also went missing
It is being told that the owner of the fake company Dynamic, who is an Indian, is behind this fraud. This person has currently fled from the United Arab Emirates. Not only the owner of the fake company but his entire staff is also missing.
People went to see the company and believed in it
A businessman who was a victim of fraud said that he trusted the fraudsters because he had paid 3 lakh dirhams in cash, but now he is facing the loss of goods worth more than 8 lakh dirhams. On the condition of anonymity, a Pakistani businesswoman living in Dubai told that these thugs were given pulses, almonds, rice, sugar and cashew nuts on her behalf. The Pakistani businessman also told that he had also gone to the office of these thugs, but everything seemed fine to him.
70 companies became victims of fraud
Wazifa Shahid, owner of MMC Global Information Technology, said that he had given 76 Lenovo laptops and routers worth 267,000 dirhams to these fraudsters. He also told that the first check had cleared without any hassle, after which he was convinced that this company was legitimate. Many businessmen who became victims of this fraud have made a list of their goods. This list includes the names of 70 companies, which have become victims of this racket.
Started business only last year
A businessman named Jonas Brito, who was a victim of fraud, said that we have been able to include only so many names in the list, but more names may be included in it, but some companies have decided not to report the loss. He says that he started his business in April last year itself.
The thugs also escaped with towels worth Rs 15,000.
A person working for a Chinese company said that he had supplied electrical equipment worth 52,000 dirhams to the scammers, after which he was fired from his job. He told that the company had told him that he had not made a proper deal. A Lebanese businesswoman who supplied towels worth Rs 15,000 is still unable to realize that she has been defrauded. The woman says how can someone steal a thing like a towel.
