The law and law enforcement authorities can intervene to protect people against such tricksters and conmen, but only up to a point. After all, despite being aware that there is no known "miracle" to double their money and also reading about such conmen in the Press, some people are still tempted to trust a trickster.

There is, however, one way to increase your wealth or income. And that is hard and diligent work. It is unfortunate that some people are foolish enough to believe otherwise. In any case, those who do con others would do well to remember that all such 'magic or magical' practices are banned and illegal in the Emirates.

And also that the authorities concerned are determined to take strong action against all those caught for such fraud.
