This one is a little bit of a doozy but it’s a reminder to those that catfishing is real and exists everywhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An Arab man in his 30s\u00a0was arrested by Abu Dhabi police\u00a0for conning several users on Snapchat by posing to be a woman<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He created several fake social media accounts and started to catfish other users online – he even lured other men into securing dates with him for AED500 in return.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After paying him, the conman would arrange to meet them at a specific\u00a0time and place\u00a0but proved to be a no-show to the suspects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was arrested by CID<\/h3>\n

The CID entity of the Abu Dhabi Police managed to capture the Arab man after several complaints were received from the victims of the electronic fraud.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the arrest of the cat-fish, he was found with numerous smart phones, false names of women and\u00a0inappropriate pictures and videos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Catfishing is dangerous<\/h3>\n

Abu Dhabi Police took to their social media to warn social media users of users like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An important reminder that social media comes with it’s own consequences – you should never communicate with strangers online as they might not actually be who they say they are.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
