Bank fraud in Suhag, Egypt: suspect arrested after posing as bank employee

Egyptian security forces disclosed details of a fraud case in Suhag where a man impersonated a bank customer‑service employee and stole money from a teacher’s account. The victim, a teacher residing in the Jirga police district, was contacted by the suspect who claimed the need to update her banking details. Believing the call, she provided her information, enabling the fraudster to withdraw funds.

Investigators identified the perpetrator, a worker from the Adwa police district in Minya, and seized three mobile phones containing evidence of the crime. He confessed to this incident and admitted to four similar frauds using the same impersonation method. Legal proceedings have been initiated, and the public prosecutor’s office is pursuing the case.
