Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Criminal Investigation Department personnel said Sunday that they were able to thwart a fraud scheme worth JD1.5 million to be paid by 3 Arab nationals hoping to purchase non-existent Ottoman gold Rashadi coins.

PSD's Media Center said Criminal Investigation agents in Jiza District , south of Amman, gathered information on suspects who lured customers to travel to Jordan to purchase gold coins.

Officers tracked those involved in the fraud and stopped the buyers, along with one of the suspects, who was accompanying the buyers as they sought to finish the deal and deliver payment of JD1.5 million for the alleged 10,000 gold Rashadi coins, PSD added.

Police said later they arrested the other two suspects, adding that one of them is a Jordanian who has a theft and fraud record, while the other is a wanted Arab national.
