Oman Police have arrested six Arab nationals for allegedly orchestrating an elaborate romance scam and blackmailing a victim online.
According to police reports, the group impersonated a young woman on social media, luring the victim into a romantic relationship.
They then claimed the woman was being abused by her family and pressured the victim into providing financial support.
The victim was defrauded of 200,000 Omani riyals (approx. BD196,000).
The six suspects have been taken into custody, and legal proceedings are now underway.
