Intelligence dismantles a network of financial fraud and theft of salaries of employees and retirees.

The Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency, today Saturday, dismantled an organized criminal network specialized in financial fraud and the theft of citizens', retirees', and employees' money from electronic payment cards, after its members impersonated employees of "K Card" to obtain their confidential data.

The agency stated in a statement received by the news agency that the forces arrested five members of the criminal network whose roles were distributed among managing the group, securing data, and managing and transferring the stolen money, noting that the Directorate for Combating Cyber Crimes continues its technical and investigative procedures to track down the remaining suspects and uncover the financial and electronic connections of the network and complete the dismantling of its extensions.

The agency urged citizens not to deal with any calls requesting electronic payment card data or their secret numbers, emphasizing that the concerned companies do not request this information through calls as they possess the necessary data within their official systems, calling for the immediate reporting of any fraud cases or suspicious attempts via the unified emergency number 911 to take legal and technical action against the perpetrators.
