KUWAIT CITY, Sep 27: An expatriate reported losing approximately 98 Kuwaiti dinars from his bank account after four unauthorized withdrawals. The victim, (47 yr old), filed a complaint at Jahra Police Station, where the case was registered as a money-related felony under "forgery in a bank transaction" (case no. 90/2024).

The expatriate explained that he had received a product offered at a discounted price via WhatsApp and contacted the seller to purchase the items. He was sent a payment link for 5 dinars, but after making the payment, he noticed four significant withdrawals from his account. Three amounted to 24.800 dinars each, and a fourth withdrawal was 24.900 dinars. These unauthorized transactions occurred immediately after he processed the payment link on the previous Tuesday.
It remains unclear whether the expatriate had a balance in his account in addition to the withdrawn amounts.
