The Abu Dhabi Court of Cassation has upheld rulings of the lower courts that handed three-month jail sentences to three Asian men after they were found guilty of conning an expat.
They will be deported after serving their term for fraudulently taking Dh100,000 from the bank account of an expat in a phone scam.
Court documents stated that the Asian man and his colleagues had made phone calls to the victim and told that he won a prize of Dh200,000.
The main defendant in the case, who claimed to be an employee of a shopping mall in the UAE, told the victim to provide him with bank details including his credit card number so the cash he allegedly won could be transferred to his bank account. Instead, the man and his accomplices transferred Dh100,600 from the victim's account into various bank accounts.
The victim filed a complaint to the police after confirming that he had been defrauded.
He said to officers that he realised that it was a scam after the men had switched off their phones, after he had given them all his bank details. Through bank notifications, the victim realised that the scammers had taken cash from his account and transferred to other accounts using the details that he had provided. After investigating the case, police arrested the scammers. Prosecutors had charged them with conning people through phone calls.
Both the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance and the Appeal Court convicted all the men and sentenced them to three months in jail and ordered for their deportation after serving their jail sentences.
The men challenged the ruling to Abu Dhabi's top court which rejected their appeal and maintained earlier rulings based on the evidence presented by prosecutors.
