DOHA, Nov 27 (AFP) - Qatari police have arrested four Africans accused of conning their victims out of almost $2.5 million with a promise to make their money grow with a chemical agent, newspapers said Saturday.
Al-Raya said the suspects were netted in a sting operation by police at the Doha hotel of the four non-Arab Africans, whose nationalities were not given.
They asked for payment in $100 bills in return for applying a chemical agent to black sheets of paper to multiply the money, according to the newspaper.
Such get-rich-quick schemes are a common ploy of fraudsters in the oil-rich Gulf Arab monarchies.
