Doha, Qatar: Authorities in Qatar have successfully dismantled a major criminal network involved in cyber fraud. The Economic Cyber Crime Prevention Department under the Ministry of Interior arrested a gang of 12 individuals of Asian origin for sending fake SMS messages designed to steal money and sensitive personal information.
The suspects used various network communication towers in Qatar to distribute fraudulent links via SMS, tricking victims into sharing financial or personal data. This illegal operation was aimed at extorting individuals by gaining unauthorized access to their accounts and confidential information.
The Ministry of Interior has emphasized the importance of public awareness and has urged residents to remain cautious. People are advised not to click on suspicious links received through SMS or messaging apps, and never to share personal or banking information through such channels.
The ministry reiterated its commitment to tackling cybercrime and confirmed that strict legal action would be taken against those found guilty of participating in or facilitating such scams. The public is encouraged to report suspicious activities and stay informed to help combat the rise of digital fraud.
