500 Kuwaiti Dinars stolen from migrant worker's account in 5 withdrawal transactions

Kuwait officials referred the file of a fraud and deception case to the Electronic Investigations Department in an attempt to apprehend an unknown individual who stole 500 dinars from the bank account of an Arab expatriate. According to the expatriate’s statement, he visited a website and purchased goods worth 20 dinars. He was asked to complete the purchase by entering his banking details, which he did, but he subsequently received a notification that the payment had been rejected. The expatriate added that he was surprised to find that 500 dinars had been withdrawn from his bank account through five separate transactions. He also provided the details of the website he had visited, which had drained his bank balance. A security source urged all citizens and residents to avoid shopping on untrusted websites.
