- DAMMAM: According to a report in Wednesday’s Al-Shams, a man posing as a woman in an online chat room managed to dupe a man out of SR8,000 through an Internet romance.
According to the report, the con artist was able to impersonate a woman’s voice in Internet phone calls made to the victim of the con. The impersonator repeatedly sweet-talked his victim out of cash payments over a period of months. Chalk this one up to “a fool and his money are soon parted.”
