Two Asian nationals defrauded an Arab woman of Dhs30,000 by deceiving her with a fake online investment scheme.

- Mohamed Yaseen, Staff Reporter

The Dubai Misdemeanour and Violations Court convicted them and fined the first defendant Dhs3,000 in person and the second defendant Dhs3,000 in absentia. They were also ordered to return the stolen funds. The Court of Appeal upheld the ruling. Specifically, an Arab woman filed a report in December stating that she had been defrauded by someone who had contacted her via social media and offered her a job involving watching YouTube videos in exchange for money.

She added that, after accepting the offer, she initially received small sums of money. She was then asked to join a Telegram group to register her details.
