The following statement:
As part of the Internal Security Forces’ ongoing efforts to combat fraud and scams across various Lebanese regions, the Information Branch received information about an unidentified individual who had carried out several fraudulent schemes targeting delivery workers in different areas of the Mount Lebanon Governorate through social media platforms.
The suspect’s method consisted of contacting delivery workers and asking them to deliver items to fictitious recipients. He provided them with two phone numbers that he used for this purpose and persuaded them to advance sums of money, claiming that the recipients would reimburse them upon delivery. Once he had obtained what he wanted, he disappeared, deactivated his phone line, and blocked the delivery worker’s number.
The Branch’s specialized units immediately launched field investigations and intelligence-gathering efforts to identify and apprehend the suspect. Their investigations led to the identification of:
T. H. (born in 1999, Lebanese)
On June 22, 2026, following a carefully planned surveillance operation, one of the Information Branch’s patrols arrested him in the Jdeideh area and seized his mobile phone.
During questioning, he confessed to the charges against him, admitting that he had carried out numerous fraud schemes through social media targeting delivery workers across the Mount Lebanon Governorate.
The necessary legal measures were taken against him, and he was referred, along with his mobile phone, to the competent authority upon the instructions of the competent judicial authority.
