DUBAI // Three men used a mobile phone banking app to embezzle almost Dh1 million.
The three Indians used forged documents to reissue a Simcard for a mobile number belonging to the victim. They used the card to activate a mobile banking app and transferred Dh997,179 from two of the victim’s accounts to another account in May this year.
Dubai Criminal Court heard the men withdrew the money using cheques issued in their name.
One of them was arrested while trying to cash a cheque at a bank in the Dubai Mall.
The three did not appear in court to enter a plea to charges of forgery, use of forged documents and embezzlement.
The next hearing has been scheduled for December 29.
