Kenyan Conmen Busted Trying To Swindle Cash From Jordanian Prince Eying FIFA Presidency
Conmen from this country have now gone a notch higher to scavenge international markets to practice their nauseating profession!
Jordanian Prince, Ali bin al Hussein, was targeted by scammers who had drafted an ingenious plan of making him cough out his oil money.
The Prince is eying FIFA Presidency and the conmen knew his ambition was his weakness, one which they could capitalize on to reach their goal.
According to Yahoo news, the men demanded money to hand over sensitive information from what they claimed incumbent FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, had gathered on him.
Al Hussein is Mr. Blatter’s fierce rival in the race for FIFA presidency; he has been FIFA Vice President for Asia since 2011.
On January this year, the Jordanian Prince announced his intention of unseating Sepp Blatter from the helm of the world’s football governing body.
Realizing Al Hussein was desperate to clinch the top seat, scammers devised a plan which they intended to use to swindle cash from the Jordanian prince.
The Kenyan conmen said the director of an India-based security company put together a surveillance report on Prince Ali for submission to Blatter’s daughter, Corinne.
The approaches made by the scammers on email appeared genuine but details such as the investigator’s phone number and email address sold them out.
Oops! They weren’t smart enough to con the prince. They ought to have conducted extensive research before they made their move!
