Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Internal Security Forces Monday circulated a photo of an alleged Jordanian "sorcerer" who deluded Lebanese into thinking that he can extract money from the core of the earth.
In a statement issued Monday, the ISF said that 47-year-old Jordanian A.M. was arrested last week as he was leaving the country via Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport.
He is accused of fooling Lebanese into believing that he can "extract dollars from the core of the earth by using a rare kind of Egyptian incense in exchange of an amount of money."
"The suspect takes the money and leaves Lebanon," the statement added.
The statement said that so far three different victims from Mount Lebanon pressed charges against the suspect.
