KUWAIT CITY, June 10: A female citizen filed a complaint at the police station about the deduction of KD226 from her bank account, although the price of the meal she purchased was only KD 2.300. The 21-year-old complainant revealed that at 11:00 pm on June 1, she ordered a meal from her favorite restaurant online and was asked to pay by credit card. After completing the transaction, she was surprised as there were five successive withdrawals from her account, indicating that the total amount withdrawn was KD226.

She quickly contacted her bank, and then a customer service representative suspended the card and informed her that other withdrawals were being made to her account before the suspension, and all those withdrawals were suspended as well. This happened in the Capital Governorate, and the victim filed a bank document forgery case at a police station. The case was referred to the Commercial Affairs Prosecution. Furthermore, a security source stated that the complainant accessed a fake website using the logo of a fast food company. The source stressed the need for caution when making online purchases and ensuring that the website being used is genuine.
