AL-BAHA, 18 August 2007 — Authorities in this southern Saudi city arrested an individual who had earlier fraudulently transferred SR5,000 to his wife’s account while helping an old man to deposit money in an ATM machine. The old man did not have any knowledge in dealing with an ATM, when this man came offering his help. After depositing the old man’s money, he then transferred the amount to his wife’s account. The old man discovered the next day that his money had been transferred. Authorities managed to capture the thief by his car’s license plate numbers, which the victim was smart enough make note of.
