Arrested in Kuwait, cheat women by fake identities
Cases of fraudulent behaviour this week sparked an outpouring of anger and frustration in Kuwait. In the first case a man was arrested for assuming several bogus personalities and cheating several young women, taking their money after promising to marry them. The defendant posed as a businessman, a rich man, and a high-ranking officer in order to charm his way into unsuspecting women’s hearts.
He then swindled them of their money by telling them he would propose soon, but needed cash to move on towards preparing for the marriage. However, once he took the money, he “vanished”, his victims said. An investigation launched by the police allowed them to locate him and subsequently arrest him. The police said that the man was wanted in connection with several financial cases.
In the second case, a Syrian national was arrested after he posed as a Kuwaiti military man to impress women.
The man was held when police checked his documents and discovered the fake military ID he used to win the hearts and minds of his victims.
When the policemen checked his mobile phone they discovered the pictures and numbers of several women, but he said they were his sisters. The defendant will also face charges of swindling and theft after several people who recognised his picture filed suits against him.
