Three claim Facebook fraud in Kuwait

Kuwaiti police are investigating allegations made by three Indian expatriates that they had fallen victim to online fraud, a Kuwaiti newspaper has reported.

The online post touted an instant financial loan and requested the prospective borrowers to head to a certain telecom office located inside a mall. On going there, the selfstyled victims received KD120 each, but were made to sign twoyear subscription contracts in favour of a mobile phone service providing firm. They found out that the contracts obligate them to pay sums of money five times higher than the money they had got.
