Additional Fraud Incident Report

It is important to bring to your attention another instance of fraud involving a Saudi national who posed as a lawyer and claimed to have strong relationships within the judiciary. This individual exploited an expatriate already defrauded by a Pakistani investor in a car business scam.

Details of the Fraud:
1. Initial Scam:
• The Pakistani investor promised legal ownership of cars and later created a Nafith bond with a misleading date of 2025, defrauding the expatriate.
2. Saudi National’s Involvement:
• The Saudi national assured the expatriate that he would file a legal case and recover the lost money within two weeks.
• He demanded SAR 6,500 for his services but fled with the money without taking any action.
3. Available Evidence:
• Official WhatsApp messages documenting the fraud.
• The Saudi national’s ID and registered phone number, which can be shared for investigation purposes.

This fraudulent behavior has caused significant financial and emotional distress to the expatriate, compounding the original harm caused by the Pakistani investor. The case highlights the need for stringent action against individuals exploiting their positions or claiming false credentials to deceive others.

Request for Action:
Immediate investigation and legal action against the Saudi national are requested to prevent further exploitation and to recover the defrauded amount.

In reference to this case, several Saudi laws could be applied, chiefly:

1. Commercial Fraud Law - Royal Decree No. M/19 (2004)

The Saudi national's behavior may fall under a prohibited activity as stated in Article 6 of this law: "Committing acts that involve deceiving a client or consumer concerning the product, to show it as something else, while knowing the truth about it.” This includes the misrepresentation of his position as a lawyer.

2. Anti-Cyber Crime Law - Royal Decree No. M/17 (2007)

As the evidence provided includes digital communications (WhatsApp messages), the Anti-cyber Crime law comes into effect. Article 3 of this law categorizes "unlawful access to computers with the intent to threaten or blackmail any person to compel him to take or refrain from taking an action, be it lawful or unlawful" as a crime punishable by imprisonment and a fine.

3. Law of Professional Verification - Royal Decree No. 123 (2019)

Since the Saudi national posed as a lawyer, it qualifies as professional fraud. As per this law, any person, who practice any profession without obtaining the necessary license, shall be punished by imprisonment for a period not exceeding one year and a fine not exceeding One Hundred Thousand Riyals or to either punishment.

Reportings of this nature are taken seriously in the Kingdom, it would be suggested to provide all aforementioned evidence to the Public Prosecution (النيابة العامة) who are responsible for launching the investigation, and the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution (BIPP) will then be responsible for determining if the matter should proceed to the court.
