MUSCAT: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) said that the General Department of Criminal Investigation and Investigation has found fraudsters operating from outside the Sultanate of Oman.
ROP explained that this organised fraud involved a deceit of offering financial aid by asking their victims to open bank accounts and share their bank and personal data. Then, these accounts are used for suspicious transactions.
The Royal Oman Police has warned citizens and residents of Oman to not fall into a similar trap in order to avoid legal accountability.
